Jazz take it by 14, 108-94. Pretty easy game. Hopefully they can cruise past the Okafor-less bobcats tomorrow as well.
Another slow start, but the Jazz made up for it to win comfortably and grab their fourth straight road win. With the way the Spurs play towards the end of the season it's a big ask, but if Utah can somehow jump the Spurs and finish the season third in the west, it should help out a lot if they advance through to the second round. Provided all the homecourt teams win, you would have 1 vs. 4 and 2 (Phoenix) vs. 3 (Jazz) in the second round. Barring a major losing streak by Dallas and/or Phoenix, Dallas should finish 1st and Phoenix 2nd. Both are elite teams, but Utah are 3-0 against Phoenix so far this season.
