Brad Rock: Former Jazz rival says Salt Lake and its stars were special at playoff time

SALT LAKE CITY — For Jazz fans, playoff time in Utah is special. Oddly enough, one former Seattle SuperSonic wholeheartedly agrees.

Michael Cage, now an Oklahoma City TV analyst, is working this year’s first-round series between the Jazz and Thunder. You won’t hear him complaining about Salt Lake’s nightlife.

“Just going back to Salt Lake City, for me, for a weekend, was magical,” Cage said. “It brought everything back. I remembered everything about the city, the playoffs, the fans. Even though we played at the Salt Palace … the fan support doesn’t change.”

Cage hasn’t changed, either.
