Jazz Secure Franchise's Worst Season After 60th Loss to Hornets

The Utah Jazz have officially clinched the worst record in franchise history after losing their 60th game of the season to the Charlotte Hornets, marking a significant low in the team's performance with a current record of 16-60. This season's struggles have included a 17-game losing streak on the road and a series of 16 losses in 17 games, showcasing their difficulties in both offense and defense. Notably, rookie Keyonte George led the Jazz in scoring with 20 points during the latest game, while Collier set a new franchise record for assists by a rookie. The loss also solidifies the Jazz’s position among the bottom teams, impacting their chances in the upcoming draft lottery, where they hope to secure a high pick. With six games left, the team is focused on developing its younger players despite the overwhelming losses. The Jazz's performance this season contrasts sharply with their historical achievements, as they had never lost 60 games in a single season before now.
