The Utah Jazz round out their three game road trip tonight against the suddenly dangerous Portland TrailBlazers. The Jazz are looking to salvage at least something positive from this week in terms of winning.

It’s not that Utah has played terrible in the last three games(except for the game against Houston) but their defense has been alarmingly porous against dribble penetration and not as stout as Jazz fans have been used to seeing over the last 25 games.
