More often than not, when the Los Angeles Lakers and Utah Jazz get together for 48 minutes a night, more often than not the Jazz come up on the short part of the stick. On paper, one would think that Friday night’s matchup between these two squads would be pretty much in the Lakers’ favor. [...]

Jazz Rallies From Double-Digit Deficit, Rallies To Beat Magic 104-94
After some early hiccups, it looks like the Utah Jazz has righted their ship. Granted, they went about it the hard way, but whatever works, right?

Well-Rounded Scoring Helps Suns Burn Jazz 110-94
Granted, this is only the second game of the season, and both the Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz are in different stages of rebuilding.

The Orlando Magic, by and large, need Dwight Howard most nights to secure victories; but as of late, they have been getting offensive support from other sources. In their game Saturday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Howard did supply some offense, but it was other players, such as Hedo Turkoglu, Rashard Lewis and Jameer Nelson [...]
