Utah Jazz Player of the Week 11: The Battle of Five Games in Seven Nights

I can't stop feeling good about our Utah Jazz team. They have braved a really difficult stretch of the season, and did it while playing shorthanded every night. And they held their ground and have remained in the Western Conference playoff race despite all the challenges. A week ago, last Monday, they hosted the Houston Rockets and a few bad calls and a few 50/50 balls resulted in a 93-91 loss. Then on Wednesday they started a back to back set, with the first game at the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs are great, and the team was without four of their best players, so the 123-98 loss wasn't unexpected.
