SALT LAKE CITY — There was a celebration inside Vivint Arena on Monday, but unfortunately it wasn’t a victory for the Utah Jazz.
Utah had its six-game win streak snapped by the Portland Trail Blazers, 109-104, on Martin Luther King Jr. Day despite a late comeback.
Jazz floor general Ricky Rubio returned after missing the last six games with a mild right hamstring strain, but was on a undisclosed minutes restriction and played just 13:38.
Rubio ended with 12 points and two assists off the bench during his first game in two weeks.
“Felt good overall,” Rubio said.
