Utah’s hot streak began after a loss in Atlanta, so it’s only fitting that it end with a loss against Atlanta. The Hawks’ Dennis Schröder had a career best night while Ricky Rubio had a career worst night on the defensive end. That was all the difference Atlanta needed to shock the resurgent Jazz at home beating them 99-94. Dennis Schöder had 41 points on 16 of 18 shooting with 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
The Jazz played down to Atlanta’s level the entire game. They missed wide open shots and only shot 6 of 34 from three.
