After a wild final night of the NBA regular season, the Utah Jazz will play the Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs.
The Jazz entered the night needing either the Minnesota Timberwolves to beat the Denver Nuggets or the Sacramento Kings to beat the Portland Trail Blazers to draw the Trail Blazers in the first round instead of the Houston Rockets.
