Jazz coach Jerry Sloan didn’t even seem to care that his club’s 12th straight victory came over yet another opponent with a losing record.
“Obviously,” he said, “any win we get on the road, with as few as we’ve had this year … is a good win for us.”
The Jazz go into tonight’s game with a 13-17 road record.

Sloan wasn’t thrilled with the start at Indiana.
“We came out kind of soft and lackadaisical,” he said.
But he was much more happy with ball movement in the second half.
“We passed the ball a little bit better,” he said. “We didn’t stand and hold it quite as much.”

So just what has Sloan been saying to Jazz players during the win streak?
“I just tell them, ‘Don’t leave it in the lockerroom,’ ” he said.
