    SALT LAKE CITY (Ticker) - Coach Jerry Sloan and the Utah Jazzare sure glad to back in their comfort zone.

    The Jazz seeks their seventh consecutive win at home thispostseason as they welcome in the San Antonio Spurs for GameThree on Saturday.

    Trailing 0-2 will not be an easy task to overcome as Utah hopesthat the EnergySolutions area can provide the same safety net itdid in the first two rounds of the playoffs against Houston andGolden State.

    "We will see how we play," Sloan said. "We have to have atremendous effort to try to beat this team. We have to do abetter job trying to stop the pick-and-roll stuff and try tokeep from getting the three-point shots out of that."

    The Jazz erased a two-games-to-none deficit to win in sevengames over the Rockets in their tought first-round series andwon three games here to close out the Warriors.

    "I hope our players feel like they can come back," Sloan said."That's the most important thing. Let's gain a littleconfidence and hopefully play better when situations get tough."

    In Game Two, superstar Tim Duncan had 26 points and 14 reboundsas the Spurs broke open a close game in the second quarter enroute to a 105-96 victory on Tuesday.

    Tony Parker had 17 points and a career playoff-high 14 assistsand Manu Ginobili also scored 17 points for San Antonio, whichset a team playoff record with 13 3-pointers.

    But Just as Utah looks to continue its home-court domination,San Antonio will rely on history as it is 11-1 all-time whentaking when taking a 2-0 edge in a series since 1998.

    "We're going to have to bring much more effort than we had hereto beat those guys in Utah," Duncan said. "We're going to go inthere, try to get that first game and really put the pressureon them."

    The Spurs lone setback came in the form of a Western semifinalloss to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games in 2004.

    Carlos Boozer collected 33 points and 15 boards and Deron<div class="pre">Williams added 26 and 10 assists for the Jazz, who have been</div>outscored, 63-33, in the second quarter so far.
