DENVER — It was a mixture of dead legs, lackluster energy and a sluggish offense. The Jazz fought back, but they just didn’t have enough gas left Tuesday night.
On the road for a second night of a back-to-back and playing their fourth contest in five days, the Jazz (29-18) mounted a valiant fourth quarter comeback but fell short losing to the Nuggets 103-93 at the Pepsi Center.
