Show Saturday, April 5, 2008 a DAILY HERALD NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATION Jazz gone thru a day when you dont have things, you take it and you go home. I know they're tough enough to do that. They wouldn't have won as many games as they have if they didnt have that kind of mental toughness." Tony Parker had 17 points for San Antonio, but only four assists. , Unlike last year's playoffs, ; the Jazz never let the Spurs get too far ahead. San Antonio never led by more than eight and Utah easily overcame that deficit and took over the game in the third quarter. Kirilenko, who has missed 10 games this season with injuries, went hard to the floor while going after loose balls in the third quarter. He tied up Michael Finley on one play early in the third quarter and forced a jump ball which Utah woa Boozer broke the tie on two free throws, starting a run for the Jazz. Later in the period, Kirilenko hit the floor again in almost the same spot when he stripped the ball from Manu Ginobili to start a fast break for the Jazz. Kyle Korver, who scored 11, was fouled on the layup attempt and made both free throws to give Utah a lead. Fabricio Oberto got the two points back for San Antonio when he took a forearm from Boozer in the lane and made both free throws, but Utah still led by nine entering the fourth quarter and had the Spurs scrambling. "They played well and beat us good," Popovich said. Williams opened the fourth quarter with a high alley-oopass to Kirilenko, who came out of nowhere to grab it and slam it in to the delight of the Utah fans. Continued from CI Mehmet Okur had 17 points and 16 rebounds and Deron Williams had 16 points and 11 assists for his 50th double-doubl- e of the season. Williams ted the Jazz on a 130 run to open the fourth quarter, which pretty much took the Spurs out of it and had Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili on the bench early in the period. "We just got on a rolL We played good defense. We were able to force some turnovers and got out on the run," Wil-liamssaid. , The Spurs weren't too concerned with matching the lowest point total in franchise history, set in a loss to Cleveland in March 1997. "When it's good, I dont care about history. And when it's bad, I don't care either," said GSnobili, who was just and finished with eight points. This was definitely bad. The Jazz held the defending NBA champion Spurs without a point for almost the first 4 minutes of the fourth quarter. It. d was as as last year's playoff series, only this time the Jazz were in command. Williams opened fourth quarter with a high alley-oo- p to Andrei Kirilenko to start a 13-run for the Jazz. Kirilenko finished with 10 points and six assists, and Carlos Boozer added 16 points and flustered Duncan all night. Duncan finished, with 15 points and 10 rebounds, but sat most of the fourth quarter as the Jazz ran away with it. "They have a wonderful team. It's just one of those things," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said.

The ball went inside nice, came back out and we hit a couple shots, that's what I like to see. I'm not looking for the quick shots." Sloan may not love the shot, but it is making the Jazz a more dangerous team. When asked about if Utah's shooting success makes the team more difficult to guard, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said, "I think you can answer that yourself . When a team is playing that well defensively, and rebounding as well as they do and they're already a great executing team as far as the bucket and the if lane area is concerned they're also going to know down 3s, that's pretty tough to cover."
