The Utah Jazz are in a familiar situation as they hold a 3-1 series lead in the first round for a second consecutive season.
Returning home for a potential close-out game 5, will the Grizzlies behave like a trapped animal trying to survive or can the Vivint Arena crowd help carry the Jazz to a fourth straight win and some rest before the second round?
But first, does Quin Snyder have anything up his sleeve to counteract the adjustments of Taylor Jenkins?

Donovan Mitchell is back!
The Utah Jazz offense looked like the efficient machine Jazz fans have come to know and love thanks to the return of Mitchell after he missed more than a month with an ankle injury.
But after Memphis storms back from a 20 point deficit in the third quarter, Rudy Gobert showed why he is the key to a Jazz championship as he takes over on both ends of the floor in the final 14 minutes of a 12 point Jazz victory.

Today on HomeCourt Press, McCade and I take a look at the play-in tournament, discussing the pros and cons of the additional six games.
And with the end of the regular season, we're obligated to hand out our individual awards for 2021.
We also talk about the home court advantage the Jazz have by allowing 13,000 people in Vivint Arena to begin round 1. Is 70% of capacity too much or do the Jazz get a big boost from the hometown crowd?
But first, the Utah Jazz finished with the best record in the league this year. With a full week to rest and recuperate, how does not knowing their first round opponent until late Friday night impact Quin Snyder's game planning?

10 teams are still alive in each conference but few teams' final spots are set. Today on JAZZ BITES, McCade and I talk about likely scenarios and what needs to happen in the final two days of the season for the Jazz to be set on a path to a championship.
With their regular season destiny in their own hands, all the Jazz need to do now is win in Sacramento against a team missing most of its best players in a meaningless game for the Kings.

It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for the Jazz today. The day began with news that Dwyane Wade bought an ownership stake in the franchise, showing what a great direction Ryan Smith is taking the team.
Then, in an early afternoon game, Donovan Mitchell sprains an ankle, leaving the Jazz shorthanded for much of the second half.
But the day finishes with a Jazz win over the Pacers and now two games in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

Three big questions continue to plague the Jazz in losses this season.
-
Who is the dog on this team that will step up in crunchtime and not let the Jazz get out-physicaled or pushed around.
-
How do the Jazz rebound when teams draw Rudy Gobert away from the paint?
-
Can the Jazz win games against good teams when they don't shoot great?
McCade and I take a look at each of the issues as we recap last night's loss to the Phoenix Suns.

The Jazz beat the Grizzlies for the third time in six nights. This time without Donovan Mitchell.
Mike Conley shows why the Jazz were ultimately right to give up so much in the trade to acquire him as he goes back to Memphis and puts on a clinic in the absence of his back court mate; and Bojan Bogdanovic breaks out of his three point shooting slump for 23 points.

As the NBA season enters the home stretch, McCade and I take a look at the standings as we start to narrow down who the Jazz could end up facing in the playoffs.
Then, we go deep into the conversation about the best player in Utah Jazz history, Rudy Gobert or John Stockton. McCade even makes some BOLD statements about Rudy's standing in the hierarchy of NBA history.
But first, we talk about the NBA buyout market, can the Lakers overcome injuries to LeBron and AD, and NBA summer scheduling.

Then, McCade and I will finish our comparison pod series with a look at the last Utah Jazz team to reach the NBA Finals, the 1998 Stockton & Malone led Jazz.
But first, the Jazz defense looks refreshed in a big win over the Chicago Bulls. But the big story line is Rudy Gobert and his record setting performance.

Defensively, the Jazz look lost as both Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal torch them all night long.
When the shots aren't falling, the Jazz defense is no longer good enough to carry them. Is it fixable and do they have the personnel to get the job done on that side of the ball?

The Jazz struggle to get stops on Sunday afternoon in Golden State, squandering a career game from Rudy Gobert in a 131-119 loss.
Gobert sets a Utah Jazz franchise record with 28 rebounds, finishing with23 points and 28 boards, but the perimeter defense struggles all night as they get torched by the likes of Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole.

A great basketball game can go south quickly. The Utah Jazz and their fans found that out the hard way on Wednesday night in Philadelphia.
In a matchup of conference leaders, the Sixers benefit from some questionable calls late and the Jazz self-combust en route to a 131-123 overtime loss in the last game before a 9-day break.

Led by Georges Niang and Joe Ingles, the Jazz hit both sides of the 20/50 rule in a 132-110 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night.
With a huge game against the Lakers looming on Wednesday night, the Jazz started slow on the defensive end and struggled to contain the Hornets transition game for 35 minutes. But a 47-20 Jazz run put the game away late and the Jazz move to 25-6 on the season.
