SALT LAKE CITY -- Injuries to key players haven't held the Utah Jazz back as much as anticipated.
Playing without Rodney Hood over the last two games isn't slowing down Utah's offense. Hood, who is the team's leading scorer, has been sidelined all week with ankle soreness. The Jazz didn't miss a beat in either game without him so far.
Utah extended its winning streak to four games with a 126-107 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday night. Now the Jazz will try to make it five in a row when they return home to face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
