Finale

The Jazz have proved a terrible matchup for the Bucks in recent years, winning the last six meetings between the two teams. Going back even further, the Bucks haven’t won in Utah since the opening night of the 2001-02 season.

Building upon that, the Jazz are exactly the kind of team that can cause the Bucks problems, as they’re well-coached, disciplined and fundamentally sound, even with their best player missing.

If injuries aren’t the factor they were on Wednesday against the Suns, the Bucks will come into Utah with a clear talent advantage, but they’ll still have to show maturity, focus and discipline to get the better of the Jazz.
