And what a game it turns out to be!
6 and a half minutes from the 4th quarter buzzer the Jazz lead 87 : 82 after a wild surge, but the Warriors bounce back and (dang, Gametrack is broken) the lead changes back and forth. 27 seconds to go, the Warriors lead 98 : 96.
Deron Williams takes the ball, feints and changes over the top to the right side of the court, a double team chasing him. He settles for a 12 foot jumper from an angle and makes it 12.2 seconds to go.
The Warriors get two shots off, but both miss. Overtime.
In Overtime the Jazz defense goes to work, keeping the Warriors to initially 2 pts while Jefferson hits an easy post move, Millsap grabs an offensive rebound and converts, and Bell hits a baseline 2-pointer on a pass of Williams. Then in an attempt to beat the shot clock Williams does his signature step-back jumper behind the 3-point-line and hits it to seal the 108 : 102 deal. The Warriors hit a 2+1 layup but fail to intentionally foul (wth? - I had my best free throw shooters on the floor for that) and only get a buzzerbeating inconsequential 3 for the 108 : 106.
The first win, yeah!
Ellis leads the balanced Warriors attack with 22 pts, 7 ast, 4stl on 9-27 shooting.
Williams pours in 38, 3 rbds, 8 ast, 3 stl, 1 blk 8 to on 17-23 shooting (!)
Jefferson 18, 11 rbds, 4 blks
Fesenko 8, 6 rebds, 2 blks
Kirilenko 8, 8 rebs, 2 stl, 3 blk
Bell and Hayward also 8
Millsap 5 and 14 rbds
1 - 4 - playoffs we are coming! ;-)
In the end, despite 29 Turnovers the Jazz manage to win.
