complaining about the team announced that the problem was just above it "He's got some sort of thigh contusion" coach Gregg Popovich said "He's probably going to miss a little bit of time" Duncan spent about 20 minutes in the trainer's room then limped out of the locker room and was taken to the team bus on a golf cart His only comment was "I don't know what San Antonio already was down by

doing here the final product is going to be a lot better Stevenson traded for Giricek1 is my buddy but the trades helped us We a healthy got body Gugliottal for two that were unhealthy and we got a good offensive player for DeShawn We're better right now and we're going to get better" They might be drawing closer too In a celebratory mood after their victory in Seattle the players went out to eat together late Wednesday night an impromptu dinner party that nearly every player attended "That's the first time we've done that and it was great" Bell said "This is a good bunch of guys" Even

play like he played in that stretch for a longer period of time that's going to push us up a little bit" Can it push the Jazz up In the standings and into the playoffs?

ankle sprain is healthy again and perhaps longer Sloan said he likes the added offensive pressure that Gugliotta provides over Ruffin a defensive 1 confidence" They will need that confidence over these next two difficult weeks and if the Jazz keep improving Sloan said they will be in position in case teams start to falter "You never know what's going to happen Some teams might have a tough time" Sloan said "I told them if a team starts down the struggling stretch and you haven't done your homework and you just back off and let them have it because you didn't stay focused I don't th ink

fouls Just three minutes into Wednesday's game but he scored six points in the third quarter and drew an offensive foul on Ray Allen "I want to see If he can fight back I've been tough on him because I expect him to play hard" Sloan said The pleasing part was he came back He got a little carried away with trying to Dr J the ball to the basket and it didn't look too good when he didn't make it But

huddled and ruled it was an inadvertent whistle resulling in a jump ball The takers won the tip leading to Kareem Rush's winning 32 seconds three-point- with let But NBA senior VP Stu Jackson said Thursday that there shouldn't have been a whistle on the play "That call was incorrect because the ball in fact hit the rim" Jackson said "This was an unfortunate call at a highly critical point in the game and we very much regret the error" CASSELL MAY MISS START Timbenvolves point guard Sam Cassell could miss tonight's game against Golden State Cassell didn't suit up for Wednesday night's
