"After a final flurry under the basket, the game ended with Jazz center Al Jefferson flat on his back in the lane, extending a hand in need of help.

The Jazz were knocked down Tuesday night, and they got back up — just not adequately enough to finish well against Indiana.

The result at Bankers Life Fieldhouse was a 104-99 defeat that featured one of those standard-issue sequences for an NBA road team: crumble, recover, relapse.

So where and when did the Jazz lose this game? Take your pick of the period sandwiching halftime when they fell behind by 21 points, or the last four minutes, when they failed to hold a three-point lead because of problems offensively and defensively."
