What it means One win is all that seper-ate- s the Jazz from a spot in the Western Conference Finals, which would be a big accomplishment for the young Utah squad. m J V : Continued from CI CsS those bruising days when Karl Malone and John Stockton ruled the West, Utah simply bullied past Golden State. "We're doing better staying with what they're trying to take away from us," Sloan said. "Our team hasn't had to make these adjustments, but our guys are getting better and better." Al Harrington scored 24 points before fouling out, but Baron Davis had just 15 points and seven assists. The Warriors were a dissonant mess through most of their first home loss in 10 games dating to the regular season yet they still held a lead in the final minutes before Utah's superior poise won it again. "We just didn't have enough juice," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "They did everything they were supposed to do to beat us, and they took it to us. They came in and played really well, and we weren't that good." Hsher's put Utah ahead to stay with 5:57 to play, and tiie veteran guard traded by Golden State to hit a the Jazz last summer long jumper and another in the final minutes to silence the Oakland din. "This is an environment a lot of our guys hadn't been in before, and I'm glad I was able to use some of my experience to help us tonight," Fisher said. Fisher dropped to the floor in a heap after a scary collision with Davis with 1:37 left, but eventually got up to finish the game. Jason Richardson then was ejected for clotheslining Mehmet Okur on a drive to the basket with 37 seconds left, prompting angry shouts by both players. Okur added one last dig at the Warriors, when Utah hitting a had a lead and 10 seconds to play. Utah finished the game on a 0 run, including a 10-- 2 push in less than 2 minutes after Richardson's with 3:47 left pulled Golden State to "I don't think we had the same bounce that we had the other night," Harrington said.

"You make your first couple shots and your confidence goes up." Although he committed five turnovers, Hinrich added 10 assists and took a charge on Billups after Billups hit those free throws to pull within seven. Wallace delivered a vintage performance against his former team, grabbing 17 rebounds, and the Bulls held a 3 edge on the glass. Wallace also scored 11 points and blocked two shots, while Tyrus Thomas provided a boost in the fourth quarter, scoring eight of his 10 points. "I guess we realized finally we didn't have anything to lose," Hinrich said. "We just came out and we settled into ourselves tonight.

Billups led Detroit with 23 points. Tayshaun Prince added 18, but Richard Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace and. Chris Webber all had rough afternoons. Hamilton (11 points) was just Wallace was just and scored 14. Webber did not score. "I'm disappointed we lost, disappointed we got beat, disappointed maybe we played at times out of character," coach Flip Saunders said. "Got to get back to what we do well. When we take 25 3s, I think that showed we were settling too much and trying to take the easy way, try to hit the home run rather than hit the singles and grind it out." Billups pinned the loss on himself, saying, "(We) cut it all the way to seven. We grind it all the way, all the way, we had the play called and I saw the baseline open when I was about to turn. And I went to attack, we were in the bonus and I was ready to get to the free throw line. We were getting something every time, so 1 went to attack it and he was there for the charge." He said the call was a good one and added, "If it wasn't for that, if we ran the play and got something different, maybe we cut it to five or four.
