<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Utah Jazz guard Devin Brown said he had one big chip on his shoulder Tuesday night as he flung himself all over the court on the way to 5-for-6 shooting that produced 15 valuable points in Utah's 111-98 win over the Toronto Raptors in the Delta Center. "Big chip. Came out with some fire. "There was an altercation in (the morning's) shootaround," Brown said, adding that someone on the team ? he wouldn't say or hint whom, but reporters guessed correctly that it was coach Jerry Sloan ? had questioned his play of late. Brown had no points Monday at the Los Angeles Clippers and had not scored more than nine in his last five games, during which his point total was 21 points, and his guarding of opponents and other parts of his game had been lacking. "When someone's questioning your integrity and your passion for the game, you just want to come out and prove that I want to be here, and I want everything to go the right way," said Brown, who signed with the Jazz as a free agent in the offseason. "It really helped out," Brown added about his talk with Sloan. "We got it straightened out. We talked about some things that were going on, got it out in the open, which you've got to do. "I'll just say that both sides are happy. I took it out on them (Raptors)." Sloan seemed stunned that Brown had talked about the meeting they'd had, not realizing that Brown hadn't named names.</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
