SALT LAKE CITY -- The NBA's top home team is starting the playoffs on the road. Utah's chances at getting home-court advantage in the opening round were soundly crushed by the San Antonio Spurs in a regular season finale that showed just how vulnerable the Jazz have been on the road. Because of the 109-80 loss Wednesday, the Jazz will be opening the first round of the playoffs Saturday at Houston.
