Trail Blazers-Jazz Preview

The Utah Jazz bounced back from an ugly home loss earlier this week with an impressive performance in their next game, something the Portland Trail Blazers hope to emulate.

Based on their history in Salt Lake City, that won't be easy.

The Trail Blazers look to bounce back from a surprising home loss Saturday night and avoid their 15th loss in their last 17 visits to Utah.

Utah (8-7) had a three-game winning streak snapped when it fell 104-94 at home to Oklahoma City on Tuesday, but didn't stay down for long. The Jazz shot a season-high 60.8 percent in a 105-86 rout of Chicago on Thursday.

Portland (12-6) suffered an even more stunning home defeat Friday. The Trail Blazers fell behind Memphis by 29 points late in the second quarter and couldn't close the gap in a 106-96 loss to the Grizzlies, who had been 1-7 on the road.

"That team comes in here and jumps on us like that? No energy. I thought for most of the game there was no energy and really no excuse for no energy,'' Blazers coach Nate McMillan said. "I don't know if we thought this was going to be easy or what. It just shows that if we don't come to play, anybody can beat us.''

It could be tough for Portland to avoid its first consecutive losses since Oct. 29-31, considering its track record in Utah. The Blazers are 2-14 there since Dec. 14, 2001, losing by an average of 8.6 points. Mehmet Okur averaged 24.5 points in a pair of Jazz wins over the Blazers in Salt Lake City last season.

Carlos Boozer was healthy for two of the teams' four meetings last season - all won by the home club - and scored 20 points in each.

Boozer didn't look much like the player who had become a 20-point, 10-rebound regular when he missed 45 games last season due to injury, but he's bouncing back nicely so far in 2009-10. Boozer has averaged 27.0 points and shot 79.3 percent in his last two games, and his point guard couldn't be happier.

"You can see he's back to where he was a couple of years ago when he was an All-Star,'' Deron Williams said. "Hopefully he can just keep producing like this because he's playing great on both ends of the floor.''

Okur and Boozer may be in for more of a challenge in the paint considering Portland center Greg Oden's marked improvement. The former No. 1 overall pick showed limited offensive skills as a rookie last season - he averaged 8.3 points in three games against Utah - but he's been much better in his second season. Oden has averaged 17.4 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.6 blocks while shooting 70.5 percent over his past five games.

The Blazers are 6-1 when Oden scores at least 14 points.

On the perimeter, the Jazz will need to find an answer for Brandon Roy. The two-time All-Star averaged 26.5 points last season against Utah, though Portland seems at its best in 2009-10 season when Roy's teammates are more involved. The Blazers are 0-3 when Roy scores more than 25 points.

Portland forward LaMarcus Aldridge has averaged 25.3 points in three career starts in Utah.

Behind Williams, Jazz set tempo early to beat Blazers

SALT LAKE CITY (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Utah Jazz were well aware that the Portland Trail Blazers were playing the second night of back-to-back games Saturday and coming off a stunning 10-point loss to Memphis.

So the Jazz simply wanted to start fast and make the Blazers run with them from the opening tip and kick their division rivals while they're down.

Check, check and check.

It took the Jazz barely three minutes to put the Blazers down by double digits, cruising to a 108-92 victory. It was Utah's first win over a Northwest Division opponent this season.

"Watching them struggle [Friday] night [against Minnesota] we knew that we could come out and jump on them early," said Jazz guard Deron Williams. "We knew that they would be a little tired after playing back-to-back, so that's what we looked to do."

On paper, it looked like the Jazz had a tough task in front of them. Portland was holding opponents to 42 percent shooting (second best in the NBA) and featured the league's second-best scoring defense. On the court, it was a mismatch as Utah carved up Portland's defense.

The Jazz, who opened the game on a 13-2 run while fans were still settling into their seats, shot 61 percent. Utah simply didn't waste any time on offense. Rather than standing around dribbling, the Jazz quickly got into sets, executed well and got good shots. They had the Blazers' defense scrambling.

"Tonight was one of those games that let you know how important the last game was," said Portland guard Brandon Roy, who scored a team-high 19 points. "I think we were a little fatigued tonight. Utah really just rushed it at us from the jump."

Utah also shot 61 percent in a 105-86 win over the Bulls on Thanksgiving, marking the first time the Jazz have shot better than 60 percent in consecutive games since they did it against Minnesota and Denver in 1995.

Credit the Jazz's unselfishness for their success against Portland. They were credited with 36 assists, nearly doubling the Blazers (19). Williams led the effort with 15 dimes while adding 24 points.

"We really executed tonight," said Jazz center Mehmet Okur. "Whoever was open we got them the ball and found the open man. It was a fun game."

Williams set the tone early, securing a double-double (13 points, 10 assists) by halftime.

"D-Will got us started," said Jazz forward Carlos Boozer. "He came out and looked for everybody. He got everybody set up and we went from there."

Boozer also played a big role, as the Blazers sagged off him early and let him shoot open jumpers. He made them pay, finishing 6-for-7 in the first half en route to 26 points. He also had 12 rebounds and seven assists.

"If they give it to me [open jumper] I'm going to shoot it every time," Boozer said.

The only blemish on Utah's victory was a couple injuries. Forward Paul Millsap left in the second quarter with a bruised left knee. Andrei Kirilenko suffered a lower back strain just seconds later. Neither returned.

The Jazz, already without Kyle Korver, C.J. Miles and Ronnie Price, finished the game with eight players. Okur (12 points) and Eric Maynor (10 points) joined Williams and Boozer in double-digit scoring, and the team got a nice boost from center Kyrylo Fesenko, who had nine points and three rebounds.

"I thought it was a great win for us," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. "We kind of got shorthanded to try to finish the game, but I thought our guys hung in there pretty well and tried to finish it off. We had a good start and we had a good finish."
