Utah Jazz backup center Jarron Collins is from the Los Angeles area, so he had a lot of friends and family at Wednesday night's Game 2 against the Lakers at Staples Center and actually got to play in front of them.

"I had plenty of fans, plenty of friends and family, a couple of them sitting courtside, some family friends sitting courtside," said Collins, who played 11 minutes, his first extended court time in the playoffs.

"When I checked in, and there was a free throw," added Collins at Thursday's Jazz shootaround back in Salt Lake City, "(actor) Denzel (Washington) actually pointed at me.

"His children go to my old high school (Harvard Westlake in North Hollywood), and he knows my mother pretty well."
