Utah are dominating on the boards, 29-11 with 8:14 left in the 3rd. There also winning 56-47. Oh and Dee, Matt Harpring is injured for the season, and has been for a few weeks now :thumbsup: .
Thank God teh Jazz won. This was an awesome game. First the Mavs came back from being down, then the Jazz came back. AK was awesome, so was Royo and Tag. Damn, Finley was on fire. Too bad they couldn't get the ball to him for the last shot.

At the end of the game, he soht a 3 that missed, but the ball was tipped to Walker, who missed again. This was an important win for Utah, they must have their confidence back now after stopping the Mavs streak. Utah held Dallas to 88 points, which was pretty impressive. If they can defend like that, and rebound like that more often they will win a lot more games.
