The Utah Jazz had a disappointing exit to the 2018-19 NBA season, falling once again to the Houston Rockets in five games.
Having made the second round of the playoffs each of the last two seasons, the Jazz appeared poised — based on an additional season of internal development — to better challenge a Rockets team in this year’s playoffs.
In each of the two previous postseason trips, the Jazz were a lower-seeded team but found a way to win one of the first two series’ games on the road. This gave them home-court advantage with trips back to Salt Lake City.
