The last time the Utah Jazz were in Portland to face the Trail Blazers, they suffered a loss that sent them from potentially being the 3 seed in the NBA Playoffs to the 5th. That serendipitous one game playoff that also coincided—as luck would have it—with the last game made Utah an underdog to the now home court advantaged Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Trail Blazers, on the the other hand, would host the New Orleans Pelicans. The Blazers might have done the Jazz a solid as playoff Rondo, Jrue Holiday, and Anthony Davis of the Pelicans swept the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1st round.
