Determined to end a losing streak, resolved not to be a .500 team, eager to lighten the mood before catching a flight east -- the Jazz had their pick of motivations against Orlando on Wednesday.
   
Oh, wait. The Magic stole those, too.
   
With similar prizes at stake, Orlando forced the Jazz into turnover after turnover, overcame the absence of its three biggest stars, and pulled away in the final minute to hand Utah an ugly bon voyage gift: Its fourth straight loss, 97-90 in the Delta Center.
   
"It's difficult to understand," muttered Jazz forward Matt Harpring, and he has a valid point. It's one thing if Tracy McGrady, Grant Hill and Mike Miller whip you, but Hill nursed a sore ankle on the bench, McGrady left before halftime with a bad back, and Miller played with the flu until fouling out with five minutes left.
