The Utah Jazz (24-12, 5th in West) are rolling. They’ve won six straight and 11 of their last 12, including Monday night’s thriller over the New Orleans Pelicans. It’s true that this is a soft stretch of schedule, but the Jazz are doing what great teams do to a soft schedule: Feasting.
The schedule won’t get any tougher this week, as Utah will welcome the New York Knicks (10-26) and Charlotte Hornets (15-24) to Salt Lake before traveling to D.C. to take on the Washington Wizards (12-24). Coming home off a road trip there may be a letdown, but another 3-0 week wouldn’t be surprising.
