Bulls-Jazz Preview

Playing at home has provided a major advantage for the Utah Jazz in recent seasons, but it's been a different story for them in Salt Lake City in 2009-10.

Utah looks to bounce back from an ugly home loss Thursday night when it hosts a Chicago Bulls team trying to get back on track on its disappointing road trip.

Utah (7-7), which has dropped an average of 7.3 home games during the last three seasons, fell to 4-3 at EnergySolutions Arena with Tuesday's 104-94 loss to Oklahoma City. The Jazz were showered by boos while getting outscored 31-16 in the third quarter and falling behind by as many as 19 in the fourth.

"We are a team that usually wins 35-plus games at home and now we're off to a slow start," forward Carlos Boozer said after leading the Jazz with 26 points. "We need to turn this thing around fast because it will catch up on us."

Deron Williams had 10 points, nine assists and seven rebounds while matching a season-high with seven turnovers as Utah committed a season-worst 24.

"We turned the ball over 24 times against a team in our division - in our building," coach Jerry Sloan said. "We turn the ball over this many times, it makes it really hard to come away with a win."

After opening last season with six consecutive home wins, the Jazz fell to Chicago 101-100 on Nov. 24, 2008. Larry Hughes hit a 22-footer at the buzzer to help the Bulls snap a three-game slide in Salt Lake City. Chicago defeated Utah 106-98 at home Dec. 20 for its third straight victory over the Jazz and first season sweep since 2004-05.

Boozer missed both games against the Bulls last season with a quadriceps injury, while Williams was sidelined in the home loss with a sprained left ankle.

The Bulls (6-7) are hoping for another victory in Utah after falling to 1-3 on their trip with Monday's 122-98 loss to Portland.

Since beating Sacramento 101-87 on Nov. 17, Chicago has been outscored by an average of 19.3 points and outrebounded by 11.0 during its three-game slide.

The Bulls were outrebounded 47-27 by the Trail Blazers.

"It's very hard to rebound when you have someone like 6-foot-6, 6-7 boxing out 7-footers," said point guard Derrick Rose, who averaged 24.5 points and 6.0 assists against Utah in 2008-09. "We have to find a way to get rebounds and run."

Joakim Noah, among the league leaders with 11.9 rebounds per game, has grabbed eight in each of his last two games following a stretch of six straight double-doubles.

After missing the previous three games with flu-like symptoms, Jazz center Mehmet Okur scored 13 and added six rebounds Tuesday. His 3-pointer in the fourth quarter was his 440th with the Jazz, moving him past Jeff Hornacek for first all-time in franchise history.

Utah is playing the third contest of a season-high six-game homestand, while Chicago will end its trip Monday against Milwaukee.

Hot shooting Jazz dump Bulls on Thanksgiving

By Andrew Aragon, for NBA.com
Posted Friday November 27, 2009 2:22AM

SALT LAKE CITY (NBA.com exclusive) -- Late in the first quarter of the Utah Jazz's Thanksgiving game against the Chicago Bulls, forward Andrei Kirilenko almost threw up an airball on a free-throw attempt.

The shot grazed the front of the rim, but center Mehmet Okur stepped in the paint, grabbed the rebound and put it in for two.

That sequence told the story of Utah's 105-86 win over Chicago on Thursday night. The Jazz were a step quicker and more aggressive than the Bulls, dominated in hustle plays and handed Chicago its fourth straight loss.

It was the polar opposite of how the Jazz played in their previous home game in a loss to the Thunder on Tuesday. This time it was Utah that moved the ball well on offense, got easy looks at the basket and forced the Bulls to get out of rhythm by playing sticky defense.

"We had a lot more energy, a lot more life," said Jazz point guard Deron Williams. "We competed harder, we competed better. We were a different team tonight."

Carlos Boozer, who was rumored to be traded to Chicago and other places during the offseason, helped the Jazz transform from what looked like a pushover team against Oklahoma City. Boozer had 28 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three blocked shots. He made his first seven shots and finished shooting 12-for-14.

"I'm in a great groove, having a good time out there," Boozer said. "My teammates are trying to find me. I'm just trying to put the ball in the hole and get us a win."

It was obvious that the Jazz were bothered by how they played and looked in their loss to the Thunder and wanted to get back in the win column. They took a day off on Wednesday with many of them celebrating Thanksgiving a day early. On Thursday, they had a shootaround in the morning and the light schedule seemed to helped Utah refocus before its nationally televised holiday game.

"We were a lot more live and a lot more aggressive than we were the other night (against Oklahoma City)," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. "It looked like a totally different team than we were the other night."

Utah put the game away before halftime by playing lights out on offense in the first half. The Jazz were efficient, shooting 66 percent and scoring 34 of their 57 first-half points in the paint. Utah made 25 baskets in the first half and 16 of them were assisted.

The game was pretty much decided when Utah went on a 22-6 run that stretched a one-point lead into a 43-26 advantage. Reserve forward Paul Millsap provided a spark during the run with eight points, four rebounds and a steal. He finished with 12 points and nine rebounds.

The Jazz shot 61 percent in the game thanks to solid ball movement and backdoor cuts opening up good looks from close range.

"We made shots," Sloan deadpanned when asked what his team's great shooting night was attributed to. "We got the ball in a better position to try to take shots. I think that's the bottom line."

Williams rebounded from a subpar game against the Thunder, as he scored 21 points on 9-for-11 shooting and dished six assists in the win over Chicago. Forward Ronnie Brewer had one of his best games of the season with 15 points and six assists.

Prior to the game, Chicago coach Vinny Del Negro said his team needed to win the paint. The Bulls didn't just lose the paint against Utah ? they lost it badly. The Jazz finished with a 62-42 advantage in points in the paint.

It's been a disastrous four-game stretch for the Bulls. Their four defeats have come by an average of 19 points. In losses to the Lakers, Nuggets and Trail Blazers prior to Thursday night, they were outrebounded by an average of 11 boards per game. They improved in that area against the Jazz, actually outrebounding Utah by three boards, but it had little impact on the game.

"We've got to do something," said Bulls center Joakim Noah. "We're not competing like I know we're capable of competing. It's on nobody's shoulders. It's a team effort and we've just got to stick together as a team and get it together because we're not there yet."

One of the subplots in Thursday's game was the point guard matchup between Williams and Derrick Rose. Williams got the better of it, but Rose held his own with 19 points and four rebounds.

"Whenever we play, we make it fun just competing," Rose said. "I definitely look up to him. He's always aggressive, and that's how I am trying to get my game. I hope I can be in his shoes one day."
