SALT LAKE CITY — Now that NBA trade deadline is over, it was back to the regularly scheduled program for the Utah Jazz.
Another night. Another victory.
On Friday night, the Jazz returned from a four-game road trip to win their eighth consecutive game, beating the Charlotte Hornets 106-94.
“Jinglin’ Joe” Ingles popped a career-high 23 points and added six assists and five rebounds as the Jazz are now just two games behind the Denver Nuggets for the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference standings.
“For me, playoffs was always the goal,” Ingles said.
