This is exactly the start the Jazz needed.  They have typically gotten behind in the first and don’t recover.

• Deron Williams is getting whatever shot he wants.  5-5 shooting to along with 5 assists for 11 points.
• Without Duncan, the Jazz are dominating on the inside.  Brewer is getting dunks and Williams is getting layups.
• ESPN main page link: Host Jazz facing Duncan-less Spurs.  Host Jazz?
• The D is looking better tonight.  The Spurs are having to settle for jump-shots.

Couldn’t ask for a better start.  The Jazz are shooting 70% while holding the Spurs to only 42%.
