Entering Saturday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets, the boys in blue, green and gold have lost four consecutive games. Worse still, they’ve done so to the tune of 13.3 points per game.

Sure, that number is inflated due to Utah’s 137-110 drubbing at the hands of James Harden and the Houston Rockets, but their most recent setback — a 10-point loss to the Miami Heat — was no picnic either.
