The third-year point guard finds himself guiding the Jazz through another hot streak, this one five games long and counting, heading into tonight's road-trip opener against the Grizzlies (6 p.m. MST, KJZZ). It's a position that McLeod is getting used to even if he doesn't quite understand it himself. "I don't know what it is" that turns the Jazz into winners when he returns to the lineup, McLeod said. "I'm pretty much just doing what I'm asked to do, same as ever. If that's what's helping us win, then that's great. But I don't feel any different." Yet the Jazz somehow play a little different when McLeod is in the starting lineup. With his team playing poorly after a difficult road trip, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan inserted the soft-spoken guard, who had missed nearly a month with a back injury, into the lineup five games ago. Voila - Utah hasn't lost since. Call it coincidence, call it luck. Maybe it is. But this isn't the first time McLeod's presence has triggered a hot streak. He quarterbacked the Jazz through the first seven games of the season. Utah opened 3-1, and was 4-3 when he got hurt. </div> <div align="center">Source</div>
