The Jazz commit a season-high 27 turnovers. They lose to Sacramento by 24 or more points for the third time this season. And Jerry Sloan has another public tiff with Greg Ostertag.

Even after a six-game winning run and five full days off, some things never change.
     
"Evidently, we must have been satisfied," Sloan said after the streak was snapped, "because we came out and didn't have a chance to even be in the ballgame."
     
The result was a 107-81 loss to the Kings on Tuesday night that left Utah right where it was when it started a now-ended, nine-game Winter Olympics-imposed banishment from the Delta Center: wondering, maybe even doubting, if it has what it takes to compete against the NBA's elite.
     
"Obviously we know who they are: They're a great team," Sloan said of Sacramento, which owns a league-best record of 41-15 and is now an amazing 29-2 at Arco Arena.
     
"I said it tonight before the game ? I said, 'If you can't get ready to play against these guys, who are probably gonna be world champions, the way they're playing. . . . That would be exciting,' " Sloan added. "But it didn't look like we had too many people excited about playing them out there. It looked like we were about half-scared and about half-afraid to be here."
