The Los Angeles Lakers had already worked over the Utah Jazz double this season, so going into Utah on February 4 required the team feeling good. The Lakers were coming off a prominent win up against the Denver Nuggets on February 3 and looking to win their fourth straight win.

The Philadelphia 76ers are doing a outstanding job in the middle of a unmanageable seven game reach. Philadelphia is 3-1 so far during the streak that sees them face teams with winning records. They overcame the Atlanta Hawks on the road to bring in their recent win and go to 17-7 on the season. That is a good thing basically because it is beginning to resemble the Atlantic Division race wo n't be so easy. But the Boston Celtics have come alive and carry it open that they wo n't go away. Fortuitously the 76ers are n't giving anything back.
