Regarding this tweet, the Jazz have provided this statement: "We are grateful to get the shoutout but technically it’s a third-party vendor that the Utah Jazz works with to supplement its own staff with post-event arena cleaning needs."
Who that 3rd party employs is not known. https://t.co/Kk32nJMNHF

For the year, the Utah Jazz are 26-26, which is good enough to be in 10th place in the Western Conference.

The team was once in first place with a 9-3 record, but fell off the map soon afterward. With the Western Conference having so many mediocre teams, there is no telling where the Jazz will end up when it is all said and done.

The Jazz have gone 17-9 in home games. Their problem remains on the road.
