Minneapolis • The Utah Jazz are involved in a Western Conference playoff race that’s almost unprecedented.

On Sunday night, the Jazz faced the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center. They began the matchup with four different scenarios regarding the standings, two each for a win and a loss.

The regular season ends in less than two weeks, and currently there isn’t a set matchup in the West. There are 10 teams with a chance, and there is a game separating the fourth seed and the eighth seed.
