Pacers-Jazz Preview

With three straight victories and coach Jerry Sloan signed on for another season, the Utah Jazz must be happy with the way things are going.

The Indiana Pacers, meanwhile, wish their fortune would change.

Utah looks to close its homestand with a fourth consecutive victory Friday when it faces a Pacers team struggling on its western swing.

The Jazz (10-7) improved to 4-1 on the homestand with Monday's 120-93 victory over Memphis. Utah shot 58.4 percent from the field, including 7 of 14 from 3-point range, to move three games above .500 for the first time this season.

"That's what we're supposed to do," Ronnie Brewer said after hitting 11 of 16 shots for a season-high 25 points. "We're so talented. We've got so many guys who can do so many things, there's no reason why we shouldn't play like we have the last three games."

The Jazz have won six of seven, allowing an average of 90.3 points in those victories.

"On the defensive side, we're doing a great job of finishing," Carlos Boozer said.

Utah also is doing a good job distributing the ball, averaging 31.0 assists during the three-game win streak.

"We're trying to share the basketball. When you do that, you get better shots," Sloan said.

Sloan, in his 22nd season coaching the Jazz, agreed to a one-year extension Wednesday that will keep him with the team through at least 2010-11.

"I am very appreciative of the opportunity the Miller family has given me, and the fact that they have stood behind me for more than 20 years," Sloan told the Jazz's official Web site. "Our team has tremendous potential and I look forward to watching them grow."

Indiana (6-10) has not been progressing in such fashion, losing its third straight and seventh in eight games Wednesday - 110-105 to Sacramento.

Even with a revamped lineup that had Dahntay Jones in Brandon Rush's guard spot and Roy Hibbert back at center after coming off the bench Monday at Golden State, the Pacers weren't able to improve defensively, giving up at least 110 points for the third consecutive game.

"(The Kings) made shots and we stopped challenging shots," coach Jim O'Brien told the Pacers' official Web site. "When we don't challenge shots, they put the ball in the basket. It's tough to get the tempo up when we always have to take the ball out of bounds."

After holding opponents to an average of 97.9 points during its 5-3 start, Indiana is giving up 108.0 per game during its 1-7 skid.

One bright spot Wednesday was leading scorer Danny Granger hitting six 3-pointers and scoring 13 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter. He was coming off two subpar outings, going 4 of 15 from 3-point range, since sitting out last Wednesday's victory over the Los Angeles Clippers with a sprained knee ligament.

The All-Star forward had a torn tendon in his right foot and missed Indiana's last matchup with Utah - a 112-100 home loss March 10.

Granger had 30 points and seven assists in a 120-113 defeat in Utah on Jan. 12.

Jazz center Mehmet Okur scored a career-high 43 points in that matchup while Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko added 23 apiece.

Indiana has lost three straight in this series and three in a row at Salt Lake City.

Boozer's double-double powers hot Jazz by Pacers

By Andrew Aragon, for NBA.com
Posted Saturday December 5, 2009 2:26AM

SALT LAKE CITY (NBA.com exclusive) -- It's evident so far this season that as Carlos Boozer goes, so do the Utah Jazz.

Both are doing quite well at the moment.

Boozer got the Jazz off to a scorching start, and Utah held on to defeat the Indiana Pacers 96-87 on Friday night. Boozer scored a season-high 35 points and had 13 rebounds and was instrumental in getting Utah out to a 19-point lead less than 8 minutes into the game.

"Boozer had a terrific game," said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan. "I think he's playing his best basketball that I've seen him play."

Boozer scored eight of Utah's first nine points on three layups and a dunk. He used his usual arsenal of post moves, made easy shots by cutting to the basket and hit jumpers.

"My teammates are confident in me," Boozer said. "It's not about me; it's about our team doing great, sharing the ball and doing a great job on the defensive end."

Sloan was most pleased with Boozer slashing to the basket against an Indiana team that played sluggish in the first quarter.

"How many times did he slash to the basket where somebody gave him a layup?" Sloan said. "You can stand outside and shoot all day. That's just playing basketball, simple basketball. The important thing is he made the cuts to the basket."

The hot start by Boozer and the Jazz, who opened the game on a 22-3 run, came in handy later when the game got tight. Indiana missed 9 of its first 10 shots with six of them being 3-point attempts. The Jazz outrebounded the Pacers 18-6 in the first quarter.

"We usually don't start out that slow, but for some reason we couldn't get it going," said Indiana forward Danny Granger. "They hit some tough shots and beat us in transition. By the time we woke up, we fought and battled back the rest of the way, but it was too late."

Utah led by as many as 17 points in the third quarter and watched almost all of it get whittled away. After starting the game on fire on offense, the Jazz went cold and had to rely on their defense, rebounding and free-throw shooting to put the game away.

Back-to-back 3-pointers by Granger and Brandon Rush got the Pacers in striking distance at 82-78, which was the closest Indiana had been since the score was 7-3 early in the game. The Jazz got enough stops on defense, however, to prevent the Pacers from getting closer than four points the rest of the way.

Sloan said it was fairly natural for a team to let up after starting a game so well. Not that he was thrilled with the Jazz losing some intensity and failing to execute their offense for much of the second half.

"I've seen that a few times where we get out and think the game is going to be easy, and the team you're playing comes right back," Sloan said. "They play very hard. They stayed after us the whole time and we had to grind it out. You don't always win those games because you get too relaxed and can't turn it back on."

Boozer was the only Jazz player to make shots in the first 8 minutes of the fourth quarter. He made four of Utah's six baskets in the final period.

A big key in the Jazz being able to grind out Friday's win as their offensive rebounding. They had 11 more offensive boards than the Pacers, which led to 17 more shot attempts.

Jazz rookie Wesley Matthews had career highs of 18 points and five rebounds and Ronnie Brewer contributed six steals. Paul Millsap had a double-double with 11 points 12 rebounds.

Matthews' role was bigger on defense, as he anchored an effort that held Indiana to 40 percent shooting and its third lowest scoring output of the season.

"He's not afraid to get up and play guys," Sloan said of Matthews. "He'll stick his nose in, stick his chest in and try to guard guys. That's how you're supposed to play."

The Pacers were impressed with the Jazz rookie.

"He is a great find for the Jazz," Indiana forward Troy Murphy said. "He can shoot it, and he's a tough player out there. He's going to be a good player in the NBA for a long time."

It was the fourth straight win and seventh in their last eight games for the Jazz. Indiana has now dropped four straight contests and eight of its last nine.
