SALT LAKE CITY -- Rebuilding momentum becomes the newest task for Utah.
The Jazz had their 11-game winning streak snapped with a loss to Portland in their first game back from the NBA All-Star break. Now they feel a bit of pressure to get back on track against Dallas on Saturday night.
Turnovers were a major culprit behind the 100-81 setback to the Blazers on Friday. Utah coughed up 20 turnovers through four quarters, which led to 22 points for Portland. It kept the Jazz from finding an offensive rhythm as the game progressed.
"We were kind of waiting for something good to happen and nothing good happened and we weren't able to overcome that," Utah coach Quin Snyder said.
