"And after I caught it I turned around realized I probably could have shot it. But I knew there was five seconds left, and we still had more of the play to go," Korver added. "I mean, looking back now, sure, I wish I would have turned around and shot it. But I didn't think I was that open."
Gasol came from behind Miles, who never had a chance after his cut to the lane.
"They made the plays they had to make to finish the game," said Sloan, whose Jazz are now 0-9 when trailing after three quarters on the road. "Mayo made a big shot, and then they blocked the shot ... that saved the ballgame for them."

That shot by CJ probably wasn't going in anyway. Miles is about the last person I want to see taking the last shot.
I'm impressed with the effort the Jazz have been giving defensively in recent games (they were awful on the defensive end last season). Now if they could just get the offense back on track...
When they lose they always have 1 terrible More..
just what I expected,Jerry why on earth would you put this clown in to take the last shot WHY? Millsap,Brewer,Price,Korver anybody but Miles.WHY? Do you want to lose Jerry?
