Jazz-Trail Blazers Preview

Deron Williams disagreed with Utah's decision to trade Ronnie Brewer. The move did not seem to affect Williams and the surging Jazz in their latest road victory.

Utah looks to win its seventh straight away from home and sweep the Portland Trail Blazers for the first time in four years Sunday night.

The Jazz (35-19) have won 12 of 13 to move within a half-game of Denver for the Northwest Division lead. Still, they decided to trade Brewer, who started all 53 games this season, to Memphis for a future first-round draft pick Thursday.

Brewer was a first-round pick of the Jazz in 2006 and was averaging 9.5 points. The move reduced some of the club's luxury tax burden, but upset the team's star player.

"You look at all the teams that are getting better around the West and we essentially got worse, if you ask me," Williams told NBA.com.

While Williams questioned the decision, he and the Jazz responded to the trade with a 100-89 win at Golden State on Friday. Carlos Boozer had 30 points and 16 rebounds and Andrei Kirilenko finished with 22 points.

Utah outscored the Warriors 31-10 in the second quarter, moving above .500 away from home for the first time this season with their sixth consecutive road victory.

"It just shows that we're maturing a lot," Williams said. "It's something we've been searching for the last couple of years, to win consistently on the road. We're finding ways to do that now."

The Jazz held their last five opponents to less than 100 points and limited Golden State to 37.2 percent shooting. They have been nearly as stingy against Portland this season, holding the Blazers (32-25) to 97.3 points a game and 40.9 percent from the field.

Utah won the first three meetings of 2009-10, taking the first matchup at the Rose Garden 106-95 on Jan. 27.

The Jazz can sweep the season series for the first time since 2005-06. Williams finished with nine points on 3-of-13 shooting Friday, but averaged 20.3 points and 11.7 assists in the three matchups with the Blazers.

Portland hopes the recent addition of Marcus Camby can help them avoid the sweep. The Blazers fell 96-76 to Boston on Friday, posting their lowest point total of the season and managing seven assists - tying a franchise low.

"Tonight was like having two new guys in the lineup with Marcus and bringing Brandon (Roy) back," coach Nate McMillan said. "We need to work on trying to get a rhythm and rotation to fit this team."

Roy, who played in his second game since Jan. 20, finished with nine points in 34 minutes. He scored four points in the previous contest.

"I'm still trying to find my way with this team and get back to where I was," said Roy, who is averaging 22.3 points and was out with a strained right hamstring.

The Blazers traded guard Steve Blake and forward Travis Outlaw to the Clippers for Camby to improve their defense, and Utah should provide an immediate test of the results. The Jazz have averaged 110.7 points and shot better than 60 percent in the three games against the Blazers this season.

Red-hot Jazz shock Blazers, sweep season series

PORTLAND (NBA.com exclusive) -- The Utah Jazz were done Sunday night at the Rose Garden. Mehmet Okur was back in Salt Lake City with his wife, who had just given birth to her child. Andrei Kirilenko had departed for good in the second quarter due to back spasms.

The Jazz were trailing the Portland Trail Blazers 64-39 midway through the third quarter, "and I was ready to gather the guys, load up the bus and head to the airport," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said.

Just kidding.

"I hope you know me better than that," the veteran Utah coach said after the Jazz's 93-89 overtime victory. "I'm not going to quit until the game's over. I never have done that.

"That's the thing about this game  you put a lot into it, you get a lot out of it. The guys put a lot more into it the second half than they did the first, and they got something out if it."

Maybe the biggest victory of the season, that's what.

And for the Trail Blazers, it was perhaps the most painful loss.

"I've always felt if you play with this game, this game will come back and get you," said a disconsolate Nate McMillan, the Portland coach. "If you lose your focus and don't play the game the right way, it will come back to haunt you."

It was the biggest lead the Blazers (32-26) have given up since Nov. 16, 2007, when they jumped in front of Philadelphia 41-16 only to lose 92-88 at the Wachovia Center.

Less than a week after acquiring center Marcus Camby in a trade, and with Brandon Roy finally looking more like an All-Star, Portland still couldn't close out what should have been an important victory in the tight race to the playoffs in the Western Conference.

"The moves we made, and having guys back, if we are serious about making a run, we have to act like it, and we have to play like it," McMillan said. "We have to have guys step up.

"We have veterans, guys who have been on the team. We have to show that in what we do on the floor."

The Jazz (36-19) trailed 27-14 after one quarter, 50-38 at the half and seemed dead and buried when they fell behind 64-39 after Portland went on a 12-0 run early in the third quarter.

"This is a great win for us," Sloan said. "It looked like a game that wasn't going to be winnable when they got up  what was it, 25 points?

"But the way we played, we should have been down a lot more. We started the game off like we just wanted to exchange baskets with them  play out on the perimeter, take jump shots, never set any screens. The second half, we got a little more aggressive, and that helped us out."

Portland seemed a basket away from clinching victory several times down the stretch in regulation, and had a chance to wrap up the win when, with the Blazers ahead 83-81, Nicolas Batum missed a wide-open 3-pointer from the corner with seven seconds left.

After a Utah timeout, Deron Williams rimmed out an 18-foot jumper, but Carlos Boozer snared the offensive rebound and score on a jump hook off the glass as the buzzer sounded to force overtime.

Roy  who led Portland with 23 points  knocked down a trey to open the extra session, but Utah scored the next eight points to go ahead 91-86. Rudy Fernandez's 3-pointer with 23.3 seconds left closed the gap to 91-89, and after Boozer sank 1-of-2 at the line, the Blazers had the chance to force a second overtime. But Roy's contested three bounced off the rim, and the game was over.

"We have to win this game  the last home game before we go on a five-game trip," said Roy, in his third game back as he recovers from a hamstring strain. "Every game is big. Our guys came out ready to play, but they just outfought us down the stretch.

"If we want to make the playoffs, we have to be better than this."

Utah, meanwhile, can use the win as a springboard to challenging Denver for the Northwest Division championship. The Jazz, who have won 17 of their last 19 and closed out a 4-0 series sweep against Portland, trail the Nuggets by a half-game. Utah got 22 points and 23 rebounds from Boozer and 18 points, 12 assists and seven rebounds despite a 4-for-15 shooting night from Williams.

"We're feeling real good right now," Williams said. "Hopefully we can keep it up. The first half wasn't anywhere where we want to be in any aspect of the game; the second half was more like it."
