" Two years, Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. That's how long it takes most NBA teams to learn how to win on the road. And for every good squad that eventually becomes great by claiming victories away from the comforts of home, there are average clubs that continually fall apart and never take the next step because they fail to learn how to win in someone else's building.

Corbin spent 16 seasons playing in the NBA. The first two were filled with constant mental and physical adjustments, as he adapted to new environments and realized the only way to play on a good road team is to become one.

"You're on the road and you think you can do the same things that you do at home, but it's different. Because the arena is different, the lighting is different — the time you get in the arena, the amount of time you spend on the floor," Corbin said. "And you're out there on your own, just you and your teammates. … If you get down, you have no one to lift you up but your teammates.""
