INDIANAPOLIS — If an editor asked for a headline to describe this Midwestern road trip for Utah, it might read something like this: “How the Jazz lost the No. 4 seed in the West.”
Though Utah still remains in the top four of the Western Conference, the Jazz didn't do themselves any favors while away from home for the past week.
In their latest disappointing effort, the Jazz squandered career-high games by Gordon Hayward and Rudy Gobert en route to suffering a 107-100 loss to the Indiana Pacers.
They also have a rough stretch to finish the season, so going 1-3 on a road trip could be quite detrimental to their home-court advantage hopes.
