When the Utah Jazz fell in Game 1 of their first round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder, several fans and casual observers likely asked themselves, “Does this Jazz team have what it takes to compete with a star-studded OKC squad?” Three games later, the answer has been a resounding YES.
Despite falling short in the first game of the series, the Jazz have now rattled off three consecutive victories, two of which (the two home games) came in dominant fashion. As such, the Jazz find themselves with a commanding 3-1 lead and a chance to close out the series in five games on Wednesday night.
