The Trail Blazers suffered their first loss at home in December by falling to the Jazz 120-90. Utah set the tone early by torching the nets with a near-perfect performance from beyond the arc. Playing from behind for the majority of the game, Portland struggled to keep pace. The Jazz’s offense moved the ball efficiently, controlled the pace, and frustrated the Blazers in the paint. Despite trailing by double-digits for long stretches, coach Terry Stotts’ squad was feisty until the starters left the court. It was a rough loss, but Portland will get a chance at revenge on Christmas.
