The Jazz defeated the Spurs 109-83. They trimmed the lead back down to 2-1. The Jazz remained perfect at home in the playoffs. The Spurs could not find their grove at all. The fans gave the Jazz a big boost. Deron Williams had 31 points and 8 assists for the Jazz while star teammate Carlos Boozer had 27 points and 12 rebounds. The 26 point margin of defeat was the Spurs worst of the season. Derek Fisher, Andrei Kirilenko, Jarron Collins, and Gordon Giricek all helped in the 12-3 run during the 3rd quarter. Paul Millsap had some key baskets in the 4th quarter. Mehmet Okur did not have his shot back but he helped play great defense on Tim Duncan. He even got him into big foul trouble! It was the first game in 12 games that Duncan did not have a 20 point 10 rebound game. This will probably give the Jazz more confidence and they might be able to even up the series. Also look for the Spurs to come out and get revenge in game 4. This will be a good series now.
