A recent disappointing loss to the Golden State Warriors notwithstanding, there’s a lot for Utah Jazz fans to be excited about heading into the All-Star break. Their team currently finds itself in sixth place in the West, with the fourth seed and home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs well within striking distance. Since the turn of the calendar year, the Jazz have played much better than they did to start the year, and the easiest portion of their schedule still lies ahead.
Even the recent loss to the Warriors was more encouraging than it was disheartening.
