  During the Jazz’s season-best eight-game winning streak, no one has been hotter than point guard Ricky Rubio.But on Friday night against the Charlotte Hornets, he was finally slowed down — not by an opposing defense, but by injury.

There was uncertainty in the locker room. The trade deadline was looming. They were sitting in the 10th spot in the Western Conference. Making the playoffs? That seemed like a pipe dream.Eight wins later, the outlook is very different. It’s more than the Jazz having the longest current winning streak in the NBA, or t
