The Utah Jazz will have yet another chance to make a significant leap in the standings on Sunday evening when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves in a bout that could have critical importance in the playoff race. Entering Sunday’s slate of games, the Jazz find themselves in seventh place in the West while the Wolves find themselves in fifth although they hold just a half-game lead over Utah.
This contest is bound to have a playoff atmosphere not only due to how close these two teams are in the standings as they battle for postseason positioning, but also because the last contest got pretty chippy.
