My, what a season and what a turnaround it’s been for the Utah Jazz in 2017-18. Once an afterthought sitting at 19-28 after a dismal loss to the Atlanta Hawks and a putrid month of December, the Jazz are now firmly in the playoff hunt in the Western Conference. Following their win on Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors, the Jazz are tied with the Timberwolves for seventh in the West and find themselves just a game out of fifth and a game and a half out of fourth.
That has come thanks to a pair of win streaks, one which lasted 11 games and a second which lasted nine games, which have been part of a run that has seen Utah win 23 of their last 27 games.
