SALT LAKE CITY — Like classical music and Betty White, the Jazz’s win streak seemed destined to continue in perpetuity. But two months after it began, it finally ended on Tuesday, in the same place it started: at the feet of the Atlanta Hawks.
In January, the Jazz lost to the Hawks, dropping their record to 19-28, the low point of the season. Tuesday, Atlanta shocked the Jazz 99-94.
Still two games above the playoff waterline, and a game out of sixth place, the Jazz are hoping to avoid a first round playoff pairing with Houston or Golden State.
