And on the second night, the story was much the same as the first.
     
Terrible turnover troubles. So-so shooting. And another Utah loss, this one dropping the Jazz to 0-2 on the still-young 2002-2003 NBA season.

Atlanta beat Utah 105-98 on Thursday night at Philips Arena, sending the Jazz home for Saturday night's Delta Center-opener against Golden State wondering when they're going to get their act together.
     
"We're playing in spurts," said Jazz star Karl Malone, whose team-high 20 points came on 7-of-15 shooting. "We're not playing a complete half, or a complete, really, quarter."
