The first round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs is in the books and for the second straight season, the Utah Jazz have advanced to the Western Conference Semifinals! As the fifth seed, the Jazz once again find themselves matched up against the first seed in the West, but this year there’s a new top dog in town – the Houston Rockets.
The Rockets were dominant all season long and have certainly kept that up so far in the playoffs, easily toppling the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round and rolling to a big victory in Game 1 against the Jazz.
