Utah's rough stretch continued Saturday night with a 124-107 loss to the Blazers in Portland.
The Jazz jumped out to a double-digit lead within the first nine minutes, but Damian Lillard helped the Blazers close the first half on a 15-0 run to give them a 10-point advantage at the break.
Utah (32-17) cut that deficit to three in the second half—thanks to back-to-back threes from Joe Ingles and Bojan Bogdanoviu0107—but was never able to climb all the way back.
Lillard made sure of that, scoring 51 points on 17-for-29 shooting, including 9-for-15 from beyond the arc, while also dishing out 12 assists.
