It may have taken until the final game of the regular season, but the Utah Jazz are precisely where they belong. They are the champions of the Northwest Division — AGAIN.
Despite playing shorthanded as starters Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanoviu0107 were on the bench in street clothes, Utah dominated the second half en route to a 111-80 victory over the Portland Trailblazers on Friday night.
With the win, the Jazz have secured the No. 5 seed in the upcoming postseason, set to face off with Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks next weekend.
"We're healthy now, and we haven't had that in a couple of years," head coach Quin Snyder said postgame.
