Several fans are shocked. Members of the media can’t believe it. Some are calling it a major upset.
No matter how surprising it may seem to some, though, the Utah Jazz indeed hold a 3-1 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder. While the series isn’t over yet, the Jazz are sitting pretty with three chances to get a single win to take the series and move on to the second round of the NBA Playoffs for the second year in a row.
Several Jazz fans saw this coming. They understood how hot their team was entering the playoffs, believed in the coaching edge they’d have in Quin Snyder over Billy Donovan and had faith in the strength of their team over OKC’s focus on individual stars.
