Utah Jazz @ SAS - Fourth Quarter
- 11:46 - Can any of the Jazz players stay on their feet with a pump fake on the perimeter? The jump into the defender is Manu’s patent move.
- 8:03 - The Jazz are shooting 60% and yet still only lead by 1, 82-81. The Spurs are only shooting 42%. The difference? 25 FT attempts v. only 12 for the Jazz.
- Timeout - Highlights of the last time the Jazz won in SA. Take another drink for the reference.
- 7:28 - Boozer likes the high-fives.
- 7:15 - Man, U suck. See what I did there?
- 6:42 - 85-84 Spurs. First lead since early in the first. Offensive boards are killing the Jazz.
- 5:50 - That’s an MVP play. The dribbling it and not passing it to Deron, not so much.
- Timeout - 54-18 advantage in the paint for the Jazz. Amazing.
- 5:25 - Another back-breaking offensive board and a three for the Spurs
- 3:50 - Another three, another offensive board for SA. Parker makes the two.
- Timeout - Haven’t been able to hear the miced coaches until now. Fascinating insight from Sloan going to commercial. “Let’s go! Come on, let’s go!”
- How can it be this close? Or should I say, how can SA have the lead? 91-87. 19 turnovers, that’s how. 8 by Boozer. Ouch.
- 2:37 - Ginobili with the block of the night on Booze.
- 2:03 - Okur is terrible at defending the pick and roll as Manu gets a free ride to the basket.
- 1:30 - Big miss by Bonner. Gives the Jazz hope.
- 1:20 - Boozer’s only attempting his 3rd and 4th FTs. There’s your difference.
- :59 - Parker picked a lousy time to get hot. Good D by the Jazz on this trip. Clutch shot by Tony.
- :43 - Big miss by Booze at the line. Did you know that the Jazz haven’t won here since ‘99?
- :41 - Timeout. 96-94 Spurs.
- :30.8 - Manu gets to the line again. Four-point game.
- :23.8 - Williams on the foul line. Misses the first. Haven’t had a field goal in six minutes. Makes the second. Three point spread.
- :17.1 - WILLIAMS! THREE! One-point game.
- :17.1 - Two Manu free throws. Only a three point game. 101-98. Timeout. Watch for the foul so that the Jazz can’t get a three off.
- :15 - Offensive on Booze.
- 13:9 - Bonner 1-2. Four point game.
- 5.2 - Fitting that Manu grabs the last board to put the game away.
More on this ugly second half later.
