If you’ve followed the Utah Jazz to any degree this season, then you already know the story. Their early-season schedule was a gauntlet, however, it’s been said for weeks upon weeks that they’ll end the year with an extremely easy stretch that could see them undergo a huge leap up the standings.
Along that vein, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re past the All-Star break and that foretold stretch is nearly upon us. The bad news – it isn’t here quite yet.
In fact, in Week 20 of action, the Utah Jazz will face a challenging three-game slate against a trio of teams that all currently find themselves in the playoff mix.
