NBA: 5 big questions heading into the All-Star break

Can the Utah Jazz continue their high-level play in the second half of the season and into the playoffs?

The Utah Jazz has been the most consistently good team in the NBA this season. They may not have the top-level elite talent that some of the other teams in the league have, but there isn’t a team playing at a higher level right now as a unit than Utah.

They’re sitting atop the Western Conference standings and you can’t help but wonder if what Utah is doing will be sustainable during the second half of the season and into the playoffs? Essentially, how much of a threat are the Jazz in the West?

Entering the playoffs, the Lakers and Clippers will likely still be the two teams that many will pick to come out of the West. But, with the way the Jazz has played this season, this is not a team to discredit. Especially if they can replicate this success in the second half of the season.
