    It hasn't been easy.
    Signed as a free agent last summer after two seasons with the reigning world champion San Antonio Spurs, Brown has emerged as one of the Jazz's most productive off-the-bench scorers - an ingredient every good team needs.
    Brown scored eight points in Tuesday night's 90-80 victory over the Lakers, including four in the fourth quarter, when Utah rallied for its fifth straight victory.
    In the past three games, Brown has averaged 8.3 points in 16.3 minutes - a better points-per-minute ratio than leading scorer Mehmet Okur.
    "Everything is good," Brown said. "No complaints at all. . . . The team is
    starting to play well."
    Just a month ago, the situation wasn't as positive.
    Following a 106-90 loss to Seattle on Dec. 9 that dropped Utah's record to 8-12, Brown seemed to criticize his new coach, Jerry Sloan.
    "You come out and have a start like that and think you'll get more minutes and then you don't," Brown said. "It's frustrating. . . . We don't have a defined rotation. It's just confusion." </div>
