The Jazz Peli-can’t snap out of losing streak, their 6th straight

Yahoo Sports NBAOutlet infoNBA logoNBA

In the darkest, inner circle of the inferno, the Jazz had fallen into, all Jazz fans wanted was a sign of life that this team was still alive and kicking.

Updated Nov 5, 9:09 AM ET

Call it a learning experience. An education. School. The Wizards entered last night’s game against the Atlanta Hawks having played the NBA’s easiest schedule so far.

Analysis

With the Blazers leading 109-90 in the fourth quarter, wing Sidy Cissoko went under a screen, leaving enough space for Suns forward Miles Bridges to launch an uncontested 3-pointer. The Blazers didn’t want to go under screens to give Bridges space. They were supposed to fight over the screen and stay in contact.
