Although they got off to a rough start this season, the Utah Jazz have been winning a lot lately.
They have found victory in 9 of their last 11 games and have shown some impressive growth, even though they are still the 11th team in the Western Conference.
They might not be the best team in their conference but they have made NBA history.
According to OptaSTATS, there have been 524 instances in NBA regular-season history of a team facing an opponent with a .650+ win percentage for three consecutive games.
The Jazz are the only team to win all three by double digits, as they have taken down the Philadelphia 76ers by 11 points, the Milwaukee Bucks by 16, and the Denver Nuggets by 13.

The Jazz have been a team to watch for the last few seasons.
Several years ago, they were one of the best squads in the Western Conference, although they continually fell short of their ultimate goal of reaching the NBA Finals.
The front office then blew the team up, trading away Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell and replacing them with a ton of trade assets and younger players.
Since then, the team has shown a lot of promise but hasn’t accumulated a ton of wins.
Last season, they ended up as the 12th seed with a 37-45 record.
They are only doing slightly better this year and it has some people wondering what the future holds for the team.
There have been reports of the front office possibly making some changes in the future and some fans are expecting next season’s Jazz to look much different than the team they see this year.
They may be making NBA records but they are still lacking with their number of wins and that’s what really counts for the team and its fans.
