Spurs-Jazz Preview

After their first loss in five games, the Utah Jazz are opening one their most daunting weeks of the season. The San Antonio Spurs, though, have hardly been living up to their usual billing as a tough opponent.

The Jazz, coming off one their worst games defensively, look to win their third game against the struggling Spurs this season Monday night.

Though it shot 50.0 percent, Utah (11-8) couldn't keep up with Minnesota in a 108-101 loss Saturday night. The Jazz held their previous four opponents to 93 points or fewer, but struggled against one of the NBA's worst offensive teams.

"I think we feel about as bad as you can feel," said coach Jerry Sloan, whose club allowed Minnesota to shoot 57.1 percent. "If you can't guard anybody better than that, I don't know how you can even expect to win."

Utah needs to be particularly sharp this week as it plays four games in six days. That stretch includes three matchups with last season's NBA finalists - two with the Los Angeles Lakers and one with Orlando.

"This is a pretty tough stretch for us. That's where we're at," point guard Deron Williams said. "We've had some good wins, but a lot have come against teams that don't have winning records. We have to see how we do against the top in the league."

While San Antonio (9-8) usually poses problems for most teams, it has lost its twice to Utah this season and dropped two in a row overall as it struggles to get on track.

The Spurs, however, will face a Jazz team that could be without Andrei Kirilenko (back) again. The veteran forward didn't play against the Timberwolves, and his status is uncertain.

Utah, though, might get some frontcourt help with Kyle Korver getting close to making his season debut following knee surgery. Korver averaged 9.0 points off the bench for the Jazz last season.

San Antonio held five of its previous seven opponents to 90 points or fewer before a 106-99 defeat to Northwest Division-leading Denver on Saturday night.

It was the Spurs' second loss to a division leader in three days. San Antonio had 19 turnovers versus the Nuggets, matching its total from Thursday night's 90-83 loss to Boston, the Atlantic Division's top team.

"Way too many," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said. "We are a 10 or an eight (turnover team). That's when we are at our best."

San Antonio ended a monthlong stand in Texas. The Spurs, who went 7-5 during that stretch, will be playing their first game out of their home state since a 96-84 loss to Portland on Nov. 6.

San Antonio is 1-4 on the road, averaging 90.8 points and shooting 29.5 percent from 3-point range. Tim Duncan, though, has had two straight strong games away from the AT&T Center, averaging 21.5 points, 13.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 4.0 blocks.

Jazz hold off Spurs in final seconds, clinch season series

SALT LAKE CITY (NBA.com exclusive) -- After a first half in which they trailed by 15 points, the Utah Jazz knew what they had to improve on after halftime against the San Antonio Spurs: pretty much everything.

Most importantly, the Jazz needed to play better defense. When they did, they put together their best quarter of the season and held on for a 104-101 roller-coaster win over the Spurs on Monday night. It was Utah's third victory over San Antonio in the last 32 days, giving the Jazz a season series win over the Spurs for the first time since the 1997-98 season.

The Jazz shot 15-for-19 in the third quarter, turning an eight-point halftime deficit into a 12-point lead. Utah's defensive play got its offense going, as the Jazz scored 11 points off of turnovers. The Jazz held the Spurs to 44 percent shooting in the third quarter.

"We started getting up, started guarding them a little more," said Utah coach Jerry Sloan. "They went and did exactly what they wanted to do the whole time in the first half, it appeared to me. I thought we got up and challenged them just a little bit more, and kind of got our momentum going and made some shots. It's amazing how you build on it."

Deron Williams did most of the damage for the Jazz in the game-turning third quarter, as he scored 11 points. He was 5-for-5 shooting, and one of his baskets came on an electrifying dunk in traffic that gave Utah a 74-68 lead and got Jazz fans into a frenzy.

Sloan didn't say anything at halftime to get his players charged up. But a technical foul he was whistled for in the third quarter helped change the game's momentum. After his technical for arguing a call, the Jazz outscored the Spurs 32-14 in the final 9 minutes of the third.

It was just one of many aspects of the game that worked in Utah's favor.

"We came out at halftime and felt like we didn't play our basketball," said Jazz forward Carlos Boozer. "Everything clicked at the right time. We were executing better, playing better defense, sharing the ball better, running harder, boxing out tougher, getting rebounds. Next thing you know it went from a close game to a 10-12 game for our advantage."

The Jazz took their biggest lead of the game at 86-74 when Paul Millsap hit a fadeaway from five feet out. The Spurs, however, were far from done. They went on a 13-0 run in the fourth quarter to go up 93-92, capped by a hook shot from reserve forward Matt Bonner, who scored a career-high 28 points.

From there, the two teams went back and forth until the final buzzer. Tim Duncan made two foul shots to give San Antonio a 101-100 lead with 28.2 seconds left in the game, but Williams answered with a jumper from 16-feet to put Utah ahead for good at 102-101.

The Spurs still had two chances to win it, but Tony Parker missed a jumper and Bonner fouled Boozer while trying to collect the offensive rebound. Boozer missed two foul shots, and on San Antonio's next possession it went to Bonner to win the game -- but not by design.

Bonner wasn't the first or second option on the play drawn up by Gregg Popovich and his off-balance, running jumper went in and out, and Mehmet Okur got the rebound. Okur then iced the game with two free throws with 1.5 seconds left in the game.

Boozer, who scored a team-high 27 points and had seven rebounds, made up for missing the two foul shots by forcing Bonner to take a tough shot.

"They did a good job on defense, took away our first and second options and I just tried to make a play," Bonner said. "When it left my hand it felt good. It looked like it was down and then popped out. Tough miss."

It was an even tougher loss for the Spurs, who were in complete control after two quarters. San Antonio, as Sloan said, did what it wanted early in the game. The Spurs got the ball inside to Duncan early in possessions, and he scored 13 of their first 18 points. San Antonio shot 53 percent in the first half.

The turnovers the Spurs committed in the third quarter continued a troubling trend for them. They had 16 turnovers against Utah, and those followed 19 against Boston and 19 against Denver in their previous two games. San Antonio has lost three straight games.

It was a win the Jazz needed, as they'll play the Lakers twice and face Orlando later in the week.
