Utah Jazz Reclaim Top Spot in Latest NBA Power Rankings
With the All-Star break in between, the Jazz played nine out of ten games on the road from February 26th to March 22nd. The Jazz went 5-5 during that stretch and slipped in the NBA power rankings. A few weeks later, the Jazz are on a five-game winning streak with a chance to make it six against the Cavaliers on Monday night. In its latest power rankings, ESPN put the Jazz back in the top spot in the NBA. Below is the commentary from ESPN's Tim MacMahon:
"The Jazz have snapped out of their midseason funk. After losing five of eight games, Utah has won five in a row, giving the Jazz the league's longest active winning streak again. Donovan Mitchell is averaging 31.6 points on .557/.513/.968 shooting splits during the winning streak. Sixth man Jordan Clarkson had been in a slump for most of the streak -- he's shooting 24.6% from the floor in the first four games -- but busted out of it with 28 points on 11-of-21 shooting in Saturday's win over the Grizzlies." -- Tim MacMahon
