Utah Jazz put horrendous game behind them, head to Miami

Players say their poor performance was only 1 game on schedule

NOTES: Jazz guard Raja Bell, currently in limbo in Miami until a resolution to the final year of his contract can be worked out, politely declined an opportunity to be interviewed by the Deseret News. ... Even with Favors' resurgence and the Jazz's recent struggles, Corbin doesn't anticipate tweaking the lineup. "It's a long season," he said. "We are where we are. We'll keep doing what we're doing." … Favors said he's no longer bothered by plantar fasciitis, which recently kept him out of five games. "I feel good," he said. "I'm getting my wind back." … Corbin wasn't pleased that the Jazz relied so much on outside shooting, going 2-for-15 from the 3-point line in Wednesday's loss. "Those aren't the shots we want," he said. "We want to go inside first."
