Utah has a way around them this season that has been as frustrating as it’s been consistent. They take two steps forward, and then take one step back.
This week we saw that frustrating take on the purest form.
Beat Portland.
Lose to Houston.
They beat - at the time at least - the best team in the league, only to drop all three points to a team that has spent most of the season in the bottom third. Have a match that shows confession, fire, passion from the players against a team that you can’t toss a soccer ball without hitting a player with national team cred and then lose to a team that had been struggling for the last month against top teams.
