    "It's just summer league," said Williams, who had his own difficulties in his second game as a Jazz player, committing five first-half turnovers and unable to make his shots look very pretty.
    Williams, however, didn't have a turnover in the second half, and the Jazz came from six down at the half to a three-point lead after three quarters thanks to a seven-point third quarter from second-year player Kris Humphries.
    And Utah State's Spencer Nelson kicked in an eight-point, six-rebound fourth period as Utah went on to its second Revue win, 73-69.
    The Revue takes today off and resumes play on Monday with three games including the Jazz at 6 p.m. against Seattle at 6 p.m., following Charlotte vs. Dallas at 2 p.m. and San Antonio-Atlanta at 4 p.m. Williams, from Illinois, said he likes playing against Felton, from North Carolina, and they are friends who talk on the phone a lot, but Williams knew he had more to worry about than that matchup gone awry Saturday.</div>
