SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Following the Utah Jazz’s disappointing playoff exit against the Houston Rockets, the team was greeted by a group of fans upon arrival at the Salt Lake City International Airport.
The gesture was very much appreciated by the Jazz players and coaches, who tweeted about their gratitude after seeing the fans waiting for them to return to Utah.
Utah was eliminated from the first round of the NBA playoffs with a 100-93 loss to Houston in Game 5. Houston won the series four games to one.
Man can’t believe the fans were there to greet us as we were leaving the airport! Truly the best fans in the world! #JazzNation
