Bench Helps Nuggets Pound Jazz 114-104
On most nights, the Denver Nuggets starting five would be the main source of their offense; however, on Thursday night in their game against the Utah Jazz, their bench gave them an unexpected but most welcome offensive spark – with the end result being Denver reaching the 50-win plateau at the earliest time in their [...]
Jazz Win Streak Now At 12, Decimate Pacers 112-100
The Utah Jazz obviously are looking for better playoff positioning as the season is in its twilight. They brought an 11-game winning streak into Conseco Fieldhouse Tuesday as they took on the Indiana Pacers, who are very much missing leading scorer Danny Granger (torn tendon – foot) and Mike Dunleavy (knee). But turnovers would prove [...]

Big Second Half Helps Warriors Crush Jazz 116-96
It could very well be that we are discovering the renaissance of the Golden State Warriors as they have played some pretty impressive basketball since they got their normal roster playing regularly. In Sunday’s game against the Utah Jazz, Stephen Jackson and his crew once again hit their scoring groove against what is typically a [...]
D-Ron Ruins C-Webb’s Moment, Jazz Hold Off Kings 111-107
The Sacramento Kings, despite their abysmal win-loss record, had something to celebrate during their game on Friday night. Specifically, they retired the jersey of Chris Webber at halftime yet that occasion was bittersweet as Deron Williams hit the go-ahead basket with 20 ticks left on the game clock, sending the Utah Jazz away from Arco [...]
Okur Scores Career-High 43, Jazz Gives Pacers Sour Note 120-113
The Utah Jazz have been the beneficiaries of taking on recent opponents who are on lengthy road trips, with the end result being wins on the Jazz’ side. Monday night brought a matchup between the Jazz and Indiana Pacers at Energy Solutions Center in which center Mehmet Okur poured in a career-high 43 points; Utah would [...]
