Ever since Utah has returned from the all-star break, the Jazz have looked like a team capable of making a deep playoff run. Victories over Dallas and Phoenix have only stoked those fires as Utah finally resembles the team many thought they would be entering the season.

Consistency has been their biggest issue this year, but after winning eight of nine — including victories over Golden State, Dallas, and Phoenix — the Jazz will continue their five-game road trip when they face Houston on Wednesday night.
