Utah clinched a playoff berth a long time ago. Despite that, Jazzmen haven't slow down. Aside from San Antonio win, Quin Snyder's men also defeated Toronto (106:102).
But despite their recent success Utah failed to break away from Phoenix. Suns are even on wins, but they are behind on tiebreakers. Any mistake of Snyder's team can put them down to second spot.
San Antonio is still on the tenth spot of the West, but Spurs can lose it any moment now. New Orleans is only one win behind, but Gregg Popovich's side has two games in hand. If they will use that advantage properly, they won't let Pelicans to get around them.
