The Roundup—Mitchell's 36 not enough as Jazz fall to Blazers

The chances were there, but the Jazz couldn't overcome a lengthy second-half shooting slump in a 109-104 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers Monday night in Salt Lake City.

The loss snapped Utah's six-game winning streak.

Donovan Mitchell led the Jazz (26-22) with 36 points on 12-for-28 shooting, while Rudy Gobert posted his 39th double-double of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds, plus three assists and four blocks.

The Jazz led by seven at halftime but struggled after the break, shooting only 34.0 percent in the second half as Portland took a double-digit lead midway through the fourth quarter.
