<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Andrei Kirilenko admits his conditioning has faltered with his recent string of injuries, but his shooting? That is another story, at least on Wednesday, when he returned to the lineup and finished with 13 points and six rebounds in 24 minutes of work. Kirilenko, who played the fewest minutes of any of the starters, was 6-for-7 shooting, only missing a 12-footer in the first quarter. The forward, who sat out the last two games with a strained calf muscle, said earlier in the day he felt fairly good and that the sharp pain that had been present since he suffered the injury against Boston on March 14 had dissipated. Besides, he noted, with the Jazz in the thick of the playoff race, this isn't the best time for him to stay on the bench. "Right now, with seven games left, it's important I be ready to play," he said.</div> The Salt Lake Tribune
