While You Were Sleeping - March 22nd

By Dustin LaMarr
Presswire

Kind of a crazy night, last night. This happened. So did this. A couple of pretty big surprises, and Mark Jackson does little to help us out. The Jazz now sit just a game out of 5th place, and another half out of 4th. Amazing. We say it every year, but the WC playoff race is TIGHT.

All of this happened while.. well, you probably weren't sleeping because of that intense finish to the Jazz game.
