Utah Jazz ruin homecoming for Rodney Hood and Alec Burks, smother Cavaliers 115-99: Chris Fedor's instant analysis

SALT LAKE CITY -- Rodney Hood and Alec Burks each received a warm reception during player introductions. Then came a tribute video at the first timeout.

Those were the lone highlights.

It was a forgettable return to Utah, especially for Hood. Not only did the Cavs lose their second straight game 115-99 to the Jazz, but Hood had one of his worst performances all season.

The Cavs called the first offensive play for Hood, a chance to get him an early touch against his old team and perhaps calm the nerves. Brick.

That was just the start of Hood's nightmare.
