Final
Jazz try to keep hot streak going on the road
Mar 8, 2009 - 1:59 PM Utah (39-23) at Toronto (23-40) 12:30 p.m. EDTTTORONTO (Ticker) -- In a way, the 10-game winning streak has been the easy part for the Utah Jazz. They finally got their full lineup on the floor for the first time all season, so it only made sense that they moved quickly to reclaim their spot as one of the league's elite teams.
Now, though, they are getting set for their biggest remaining road trip of the season. Up to this point, the road hasn't been nearly as kind to Utah as the team's own floor, as the Jazz are just 11-17 away from home.
They kick off a five-game, Eastern Conference road trip on Sunday as they visit the disappointing Toronto Raptors. The Jazz have won 13 of their last 14 contests and have dominated Western Conference foes for most of the season.
It's the other conference that has befuddled them. They are just 11-12 against the East this campaign.
The Raptors have dropped four in a row, including Friday's 108-102 setback against the Miami Heat. Chris Bosh led Toronto with 34 points, but he was upstaged by Dwyane Wade's 42-point effort.
