The Jazz won 119-111.

It may be time to take note of our Utah Jazz (pun intended) as this team has the best record in the NBA.

No, they have not resolved the political division in our country, erased racial inequality, solved the pandemic or found a way to stop these horrific mass shootings. What they have done is provide Jazz fans with a brief escape, if only for a few hours, from the craziness we have been living with for the past 13-plus months.

A little bit of sanity goes a long way.

Go Jazz.
