This will be a great battle to watch, and if one can play well himself and force his opponent into a bad game his team would go a long way towards winning. Prediction The Jazz can defintely win this one. The Blazers have played the night before, and the Jazz have had a chance to rest. If the Jazz can play well on defense without Andrei Kirilenko, and score points themselves, they should take this one out. However the Jazz are in a slump and the Blazers have been playing well recently. Utah 102 Portland 104
This was a really close game. It went into overtime, but we just couldn't pull it out. I thought for sure that we could win, but the DA missed that last three and we didn't rebound. Great shot by Stoudamire to send it into overtme thoguh. Very exciting game to watch. As was the game against Boston the night before.
