The time has come.
Ever since the NBA schedule was released in September 2021, Utah's road trip towards the end of the season was primarily viewed as a stretch that will either make or break the Jazz. In March and with the six-game swing up next, that's precisely the scenario Utah finds itself in.
Locked in a fierce battle for playoff positioning, the Jazz must now navigate a six-game in 10-day stretch where they will play in three different time zones, beginning in New York and ending in Los Angeles. As if that wasn't hard enough, five of the six games will come against teams currently in the playoff picture.
