NBA: UTAH CRASHES INTO MATCHUP WITH LAKERS

The Utah Jazz have no-one but themselves to blame for their precarious postseason positioning.

The Jazz faded down the stretch, eventually winding up in the Western Conference’s #8 spot. Since going 15-1 in a torrid stretch from February 2nd through March 10th, Utah sputtered to a 7-11 finish.
