The Utah Jazz’s win on Wednesday over the Denver Nuggets was a long time coming. After dropping four straight contests in miserable fashion, it was very refreshing and reassuring to see the Jazz get back on track and finally take care of business with a wire-to-wire 108-83 win.
In the previous match-up against the Nuggets, the Jazz looked slow and tired and were essentially doomed after the first quarter of play as Denver ran them out of the building.

Of course as Utah now sits at an even 8-8 on the season, there’s still plenty of work to do. However, they certainly showed significant progress in Wednesday’s win and displayed several reasons to feel optimistic moving forward.
