Utah Jazz: Fesenko bounces back with improved performance

Fesenko provided the Revue crowd with one of the scariest/funniest/biggest highlight moments. He threw down a hard two-handed slam but let go of the rim when his feet were out of position, sending him crashing to the floor on his arm and backside.
Fans gasped, but Fesenko popped up, smiled and ran downcourt no worse for the wear.
"When I jumped and when I tried to pull up, I forget I have no hops," he said. "I was thinking that it ... looked funny, but everybody was thinking I was injured. No. Don't worry. It's not enough to injure me."
Former University of Utah star Britton Johnsen gave his hometown crowd a couple of other plays to loudly cheer about. Johnsen, who scored six points in 16:26 of play, swatted away Brian Randle's strong dunk attempt, and later had a rim-shaking follow-dunk that elicited a loud roar.
Jazz guard Russell Carter left the game early after injuring his left knee in a collision with a teammate. He will have an MRI done today.
In Saturday's other Revue action:
SAN ANTONIO 68, D-LEAGUE AMBASSADORS 65: Devin Green had 19 points and Anthony Tolliver 15 as the Spurs beat the D-League All- Star team despite committing 18 turnovers.
