In case you hadn’t already heard, the Utah Jazz have been playing some pretty good basketball of late. And when I say pretty good, what I really mean is they’ve won 21 of their last 23 including nine in a row and have surged right back into the thick of the playoff mix in the crowded Western Conference.
That’s good news in and of itself, and considering that the Jazz face a pair of lottery teams in their next two contests – the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday and the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday – there’s room for them to climb even higher in the standings in the coming days.
