MEMPHIS — On any given day, you may see Utah Jazz players hanging out or joking with each other on social media.
Those interactions have formed a brotherhood, which has helped the team win 17 of their last 19 games and 10 straight on the road.
“It starts off the court; we’ve got a great bunch of guys around here, on the plane, in Salt Lake,” said Jazz forward Joe Ingles. “It’s just not fake; everyone enjoys each other’s company and enjoy hanging out with each other, and that really does translate over.”
Even as close as they are, the guys aren’t immune good ol' college basketball trash talk — especially rookies Donovan Mitchell, Tony Bradley, Royce O’Neale and Erik McCree.
