107 Celtics, 102 Jazz

The Utah Jazz may have lost Deron Williams and have an identity crisis in crunch time of games, but boy are they a fun team and have a ton of potential. It was an awesome but frustrating game as the bigs ate us alive like I was previously concerned about in the preview. Old friend Al Jefferson 28 points and 19 boards, Paul Millsap had 17 and Derek Favors had 9. A lot of that can be credited to Big Baby who had one of the worst games of his career. He was late on defense, had a rough game shooting going 2-8, 5 fouls and just things weren't going great for him. I questioned Doc for not giving Nenad Krstic more burn down the stretch. Speaking of Krstic I have been nothing but impressed by him so far, he hustles, rebounds and is a really good offensive player and knows where to position himself, he finished with 11 points and 5 boards. But so far he's been more impressive than Jeff Green who seems to not have grasped the offense and defense yet. Hopefully that will happen sooner then later because I don't want to make excuses for him all year.

Rajon(18 points, 11 assists) had a hell of a game finding everyone and being aggressive. He hit the dagger jumper at the end of the game which I love. The more confident he gets with that jumper the more that will benefit us down the stretch. Ray Allen was the catalyst for this win, drilling difficult shot after difficult shot.

Great win, and 3-1 on the road trip and only loss coming to Denver after the trade.
