LOCKED ON JAZZ – Utah Jazz aren’t sharp right now with is understandable. Power Ranking Tuesday is all good
The Utah Jazz dropped a game last night to the New Orleans Pelicans. David Locke, the radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider takes a look at the Jazz recent play and sees some understandable slippage from the hot streak earlier in the season. Those signs are most obvious on defense and in first quarter play. The power rankings all have the Utah Jazz on top of the charts and all signs still point to a #1 seed in the West.
