If you’ve paid any attention to the Utah Jazz schedule since the beginning of the NBA season, you were likely looking forward to the beginning of January. That’s when the team’s road-heavy schedule finally relents, when Utah would finally string together some games against sub-.500 competition and hopefully look like the team everyone imagined over the summer.
Well, it’s a bit past the halfway point of January, and the Jazz seem like they were just as excited to get to 2019 as we schedule-watchers were. Winners of six straight, and 8-2 since the calendar flipped, the Jazz have begun to look like they have the potential to be the powerhouse we hoped for after all.
