The Utah Jazz (49-33) closed out the regular season with a dominant win over the Portland Trail Blazers (27-55). Utah clinched the Northwest Division title with the win, solidified the fifth seed in the Western Conference standings, and set themselves up to face the Dallas Mavericks in the first round.
Portland is a team that had set its sights on the future since early in the season. Most easily recognizable players were on the bench with minor injuries, as they have been for most of the season. Utah was missing Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic tonight, but most everyone else was healthy and playing.
