Jazz Take Away Wizards Magic Win 129-87

A mugging took place at Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City Monday night as 12 visitors from Washington D.C. were thrashed by 12 locals. Worse yet it happened in front of thousands of spectators, and they were cheering! The perpetrators did not not rob the men from D.C. of any money or any valuables, they just took away their pride! The Utah Jazz put on an old fashioned butt kicking and the recipients were the Washington Wizards?as the Jazz pulverized the Wizards 129-87 Monday night. C.J. Miles led the way for Utah with a? career high 29 points.?

You can not truthfully describe this exhibition as a “Contest.” A contest denotes competition, there was none of that at this event. Utah had a respectable first quarter as they led 31-22 after the first period. The true beating started in the second quarter as the Jazz jumped to a 73-41 lead as the two teams reached the half. For some reason Wizards head coach Eddie Jordan decided his team had not received enough punishment after the first half, so he brought them back out for the second half. Bad move coach! Utah led by 39 points at the end of the third quarter as they were up 105-66 heading into the final 12 minutes of play. We will let the fourth quarter rest in peace.

Utah shot 59.5% (50-84) from the floor for the game, and 57.7% (15-26) from outside the arc.?
