How about the Jazz losing to OKC, which snapped their winning streak?

I saw how good OKC is at making adjustments. Although they were able to lead by as much as 19 points early on, the Jazz came back to make it a close game. However, OKC continued to play hard, not allowing the Jazz to take the lead. In fact, they never led in the game.

They were young teams that could take their roles quickly when given instructions and one of the teams that will gonna probably play in the NBA playoffs this year. perhaps if they can only be consistent with this kind of play with the same star players these coming seasons, they will become the next Boston Celtics which will gonna be strong contenders and hard to beat at their home court. As for the Jazz, considering they were able to climb up to the number 9 spot despite their struggles in the early season, it could be that they will gonna stay at that spot unless they can improve their play when facing strong teams in their next games.

They were able to beat strong teams before their winning streak was snapped. If we go back to their record, we can see they beat the Sixers, Bucks and Denver. Winning against the Denver which is a defending champion is already enough to conclude that they are a strong team, although young and lack of experience. A lost of OKC should not be a factor to conclude that they have no chance in the playoffs, this team are playing good basketball, everyone in the team are ccontributing, so let's be optimistic with this team.

Indeed, beating both Bucks and sixers which is really hot in the east while the Denver as you mentioned the current title holder, those 3 teams
that they beats gives them a credit that they are really doing good.

They might be still a young squad but if they keep that confidence and keep that type of game that they are executing, the winning chance is better.

A lost is a lost and they just need to focus on their next game, try to win back and continue playing great.
