Mo Williams had a double-double with 11 points and 10 assists, and DeMarre Carroll joined Utah's double-digit parade in the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer that gave him 11 points. He also grabbed eight rebounds and blocked a couple of shots.

I don't think the term man/child belongs in any article about Enes Kanter. He plays, behaves and is very much a grown man playing a grown mans game. He never complains about his time on the court and is ready to go when called upon. He gives his More..
The ball sure moved a lot more than it does when Jefferson is playing. All those extra passes made for some beautiful basketball tonight. I hope they can play like that more often going forward.
