Winless teams get well against Jazz

Pity the poor Utah Jazz. Last week, in the span of three nights, on their home court, the Jazz lost to the two teams that had yet to gain a win in the NBA this season before entering the Delta Center.

On Monday, which happened to be the night the Jazz retired John Stockton’s jersey No. 12, the New Orleans Hornets (0-8 going in) picked up a 76-75 victory. Then, on Wednesday, the Chicago Bulls (0-9) walked out with a 101-99 victory.

It hasn’t been a fun week. The Hornets’ Jamaal Magloire dominated the inside against Utah with 20 points and 11 rebounds.

Against the Bulls, the Jazz (8-6)committed seven turnovers in the fourth quarter.
