Utah Jazz Form

Their run was halted at three games by a 127-97 defeat in Boston, but their response was to go on a six-game win streak.
Utah won 120-109 in Philadelphia and 132-116 at Milwaukee, before returning home to beat Denver 124-111, Toronto 145-113, the Los Angeles Lakers 132-125 and Indiana 132-105.
However, the Jazz have not won since that victory over the Pacers, following up a 134-129 defeat to Oklahoma City with a 127-126 overtime loss in Houston.

However, they have not managed to string together wins since then, with their current dip starting with a 125-113 defeat in Denver.
New Orleans bounced back with a 118-108 victory in Dallas, only to then lose the second meeting with the Mavericks, 125-120.
The Pelicans responded with a 132-112 win at home to Charlotte, but again they failed to follow up a win as they were beaten 123-109 by Phoenix.
