The Utah Jazz were one of the spunkiest teams in the NBA last season. Well, the Utah Jazz schedule saw the team fade after the first two months of the season; they had a more positive year than many thought after they traded away stars Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.
Utah hopes to build on that momentum and get back to the postseason.
