Great news for Utah Jazz fans.

Sunday is not only Game 7 between the Jazz and Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA playoffs, but it’s also International Jazz Day.

The holiday is meant to highlight jazz music and how it unites people around the world.

Maybe, just maybe, this is an omen that the Jazz will beat the Clippers and advance to the next round of the playoffs.

Hahaha, get it?

There’s a live concert in Havana, Cuba on Sunday night for the holiday that’ll be streamed here at 9 p.m. ET. Maybe it’ll include some video from the game.
