  26-11-2017 22:16
  The Utah Jazz have already faced a long list of unexpected trials — and the season is only a quarter of the way through.They weren’t expecting to play without Dante Exum for most (possibly all) of the year.

They probably didn’t expect to bring their leading scorer off the bench, or start a rookie in 12 games, but they have.And for all of that, the Jazz have a 9-11 record, which as of Sunday afternoon is the eighth-best in
