    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">As usual, Andrei Kirilenko did a little bit of everything Friday night at the Delta Center.
    The Jazz forward filled up his stat line in impressive fashion, playing 40 minutes, recording a double-double (25 points, 13 rebounds), and logging five assists, four steals and three blocks.
    As usual, however, it wasn't enough, as Utah fell to the Memphis Grizzlies, 94-82.
    For that reason, the night didn't end well for Kirilenko. But it didn't start well, either.
    Kirilenko got a little sideways with coach Jerry Sloan early on. Sloan benched him after only five minutes in the first quarter. During that brief action, Kirilenko turned the ball over three times. He had taken, and missed, two shots from the field ? both 3-point attempts.
    Of course, that didn't sit well with Sloan, who expressed as much to Kirilenko.</div>
