My last blog was about all of the changes the Kings had gone through since beating the Jazz in early November in Salt Lake City.

One thing that hasn't changed?

Tyreke Evans plays like a beast against the Jazz. If the Kings only use highlight video of his three games against Utah to promote his Rookie of the Year campaign, he might win by a landslide. He averaged 27 points, 6.7 assists and four rebounds against the Jazz in three games vs. Utah.

In Friday's 103-99 win, Evans scored 24 points, grabbed eight rebounds and dished out seven assists while being defended mostly by Wesley Matthews and Deron Williams.

Think Memphis wishes it had drafted the 6-foot-6, 220-pound star-in-the-making from Memphis instead of D-Leaguer Hasheem Thabeet?

The Jazz sounded like members of the Tyreke Evans Fan Club - Salt Lake City Chapter after their first road loss in eight games at Arco Arena late Friday night.

"It's a tough match-up for any point guard," the 6-foot-3 Williams said. "He makes me look small. He's able to do so many things around the basket, and when he gets in the lane you think you have him contained but he gets right up over you."
