Although things are looking quite cheery for the Utah Jazz of late, there’s no denying that these four moments would have been better if they were merely April Fools jokes.

April Fools’ Day is quickly nearing its end. And fortunately it was no prank that the Utah Jazz took care of business against the Charlotte Hornets at Vivint Smart Home Arena. The win marked Utah’s fifth straight and kept their hopes of home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs alive and well.

However, there have been some moments this year that Jazz fans almost certainly wish were in fact April Fools jokes. Although things are ending quite well for the playoff-bound Jazz, it wasn’t always smooth sailing throughout the 2018-19 season. And while lately there have been more highs than lows, there’s no denying that the following four moments are ones that the Jazz likely wish they could have back and are certain to make you groan.

Don’t worry, there will be no tricks here like my J-Notes partner in crime Ryan Aston provided earlier on this day of hilarity. Instead, these four moments were all too real and are likely ones the Jazz wish hadn’t gone as they did.
