Regular Season Round 97: Utah Jazz - Charlotte B. 83-78

Date: January 31, 2011
Fourteen seconds is all it took for the Utah Jazz to show they came to play Monday night. That's when Andrei Kirilenko recorded the first of 10 blocked shots on the night for Utah in a hard-fought 83-78 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats. 'I thought we were the aggressor tonight for most of the game,' said Jazz guard Raja Bell, whose rebound and two free throws down the stretch sealed the win. 'That's the way you have to play.' When it was over, the Jazz had a 49-36 edge on the boards while holding Charlotte to 35.6 percent shooting. Overall, it was the kind of effort that helped Utah start the season 15-5, rather than the sluggish 13-15 mark since then. 'After the game we had (Sunday night), it felt good to watch them play a little harder,' Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said of an embarrassing 96-81 loss at Golden State. 'And when you play hard, you always have a chance to win.' The Jazz had three frontcourt starters record double-doubles, led by Al Jefferson with 21 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks. Paul Millsap, despite nursing a severely bruised thumb on his shooting hand and dislocating his left little finger in the first quarter Monday, added 14 points and 12 rebounds. Kirilenko added 13 points on 6-of-10 shooting, with 11 rebounds and three blocks. The Jazz won despite being without star point guard Deron Williams for the third straight game because of a wrist injury and having backup Earl Watson in early foul trouble. Stephen Jackson led Charlotte with 24 points, while D.J. Augustin added 20 for the Bobcats, who have lost two straight. *Courtesy of www.msn.foxsports.com
