Utah Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbin took the honor in stride, "This is what we try to do. We go out there every game and fight for the win. Winning the division after the first game doesn't change anything. We still need to go out every night and put 110% on the floor. The fans deserve nothing less."
Despite the remarkable turn of events posters at the popular Utah Jazz fan site, Jazzfanz, are disappointed. "Alec Burks only played two minutes!" posted one fan. "Sure, we may have won the division after only one game, but what about the future? Alec Burks is the future of this team and he needs minutes or else he's going to not be the future of this team because he'll be so upset and pout a lot." Commented another poster.
