Summary

There should be no debate about this one. It was foul for the Jazz, no matter how many times you look at it, no matter who is doing the review.

NOTES: Jazz rookie starter Wesley Matthews shot 0 for 5 and went scoreless for the first time since Utah won Feb. 16 in Houston. … In Tuesday's game against Oklahoma City, Williams' career-high 44 points and 10 assists marked the first time any Jazz player has had 40-plus points and 10-plus assists since Rickey Green had 45 and 10 in April 1984 against Denver — and just the fourth NBA player this season with 40/10, joining Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Gilbert Arenas. … Wednesday's win was No. 900 for Houston's Rick Adelman, making him just the 11th coach in NBA history with that many. … The Jazz are now 8-4 on major national cable TV, including 3-4 on ESPN. … Rockets point guard Aaron Brooks on Wednesday broke Rafer Alston's 2006-07 single-season franchise record of 192 made 3-pointers.

Typical, unfortunate pattern for the Jazz - sigh. It's tough being a Utah sports fan. Jazz, Utes, BYU, whomever. Plus, I'm a hugh Minnesota Viking fan to boot. Loyalty has it's price - dissapointment.

But hey, how about that soccer

Let Down

Interesting to see OKC go into Denver after an OT game the night before and make a game of it. They were in it the entire time and had a chance to win. The Jazz on the other hand get destroyed by a 500. team. No energy and no look of caring. Is it More..
