Jazz extend losing streak to seven

The Utah Jazz’s losing streak reached seven after a loss to the Dallas Mavericks, despite Lauri Markkanen scoring 24 points and rookie Darryn Peterson contributing 21. Utah held its own early but faltered after halftime, with 21 turnovers and 21 offensive rebounds allowed giving Dallas a major edge in possessions. The defeat underscored Utah’s broader struggles with ball security, rebounding and consistent offense. The Jazz next visit the Minnesota Timberwolves, who have won three straight and continued to perform well without Anthony Edwards.
