The Utah Jazz modified their lineup ahead of Wednesday night's nationally televised matchup with the Boston Celtics, moving Joe Ingles to the bench in favor of Royce O'Neale.
While the lineup changed, however, the result did not as the Jazz fell 114-103 to the visiting Celtics.
Utah (36-22) has now lost four straight games, all at home.
This time, though, there wasn't an accompanying sense of despair pervading Vivint Smart Home Arena as Utah overcame a brutal start to keep the game competitive throughout. The Jazz started the game shooting only 3-for-17 from the field, including 0-for-8 from three, passing up open shots and looking disjointed and tentative as they dug themselves a 19-8 hole over the first 10 minutes.
