PORTLAND — The Utah Jazz opened its three-game road trip with a 124-114 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers at the Moda Center on Friday.
Brice Sensabaugh’s hot hand carried over from Wednesday’s game, and he led the team in scoring with 31 points. Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier followed up with 19 and 17 points, respectively.
It was a somewhat sloppy game, with a combined 41 turnovers between the teams. But Portland was able to both make more threes and out-rebound Utah, a winning recipe with the home crowd at your back.
Utah will head south to take on the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, March 15.

Ace Bailey scores 5 of Utah’s first 6.
A pull-up near the right elbow and a catch-and-shoot three gets him there.

Ace Bailey is getting noticeably better.

Cody Williams confidently steps into a baseline one-dribble pull-up.
A rare shot for him, but he knocked it down in stride. pic.twitter.com/F6qwXTcnkn

This is one of the best performances I’ve seen from Cody Williams all year.
In 15 minutes, he has 14 points on 5/8 shooting with two rebounds.
— Chandler Holt (@CHoltSports) March 14, 2026
By far the best I’ve seen Scoot Henderson play.
Head up, taking what the Jazz are giving him (a lot), and playing with excellent pace.

Ace Bailey appeared to get hit in the face after a solid start to the first quarter and hasn’t returned since the 5 minute mark of the period.
Haven’t seen an update yet from the Jazz.

Ace Bailey has been ruled out for the remainder of the game with concussion symptoms. https://t.co/2PS5spI0fJ

With so many 10-day and G League players in the rotation, effort and hustle plays aren’t hard to find. Every possession is a chance to prove you belong.
