"As close as they came to winning Games 1 and 2 against the Lakers in their Western Conference semifinals series, the fact doesn't change that the Jazz led for all of 14:26 out of the 96 minutes of basketball they played in Los Angeles. The Jazz trailed throughout the second and third quarters of Game 1 as well as the second, third and fourth quarters of Game 2. Starting with their size advantage inside, the defending champion Lakers have controlled the series in taking a 2-0 lead. Through two games, the Lakers' Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum and Lamar Odom are averaging 46 points, 39 rebounds and eight blocks combined. A 56.2 percent shooter in the regular season, Carlos Boozer has gone just 18-for-38 (47.4 percent) in this series. "If we have a lane, we're going to drive," said Boozer, who has had eight shots blocked in the two games. "If we have a jump shot, we're going to shoot it with confidence. But ... we're not going to back down. "They're good, they're good. They're big, they're long, they play good defense. You can't shy away from it. You've got to go right at them." Kyle Korver said the Jazz would have to emphasize being quicker with their moves and establishing better position as they look to regroup for Saturday's Game 3. The importance is obvious as no team ever has come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series in NBA history." http://www.sltrib.com/jazz/ci_15024267
