If ever there was a time for the Utah Jazz to make a playoff push, this would be that time.
Coming off of what was arguably their biggest win of the season, the team should have a little swagger in their step. The Jazz toppled the Eastern Conference leading Cleveland Cavaliers at Vivint Arena on Monday.
What made the game so impressive was that they pulled off the victory without the help of their leading scorer Gordon Hayward who sat the night out with plantar fasciitis. In his absence, Rodney Hood was an absolute monster, putting up 28 points on 9 of 16 shooting and Shelvin Mack was three rebounds shy of a triple-double putting up an impressive stat line of 17 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds.
