Season Altering Comeback

Early in the first quarter with the Jazz down by 22 my 4 year old looked at me and said, "dad, is it over?". I responded with "yes, yes it is." The Jazz played one of the worst first quarters in franchise history. They had 7 turnovers to 3 field goals and looked completely out of it. Then something happened........Jerry Sloan got pissed!!! Sloan benched starters Brewer, Miles and most noticeably Deron Williams (Brewer and Miles never returned). The second unit lead by Kosta Koufus and Brevin Knight brought the Jazz to within 8 at Halftime and then we saw the a new line-up and the return of a Jazz Superhero. Kirilenko and Korver started the second half and provided a HUGE lift, but it was D-Will that returned to his old self. He scored 12 points in the third quarter and looked the best he has looked all season. There were so many stories in this game, but the biggest was the fact that Jazz finally showed some heart, passion and a will to win. They never gave up and played the best zone defense I have ever seen the Jazz play. The Jazz went from scoring 7 points in the first quarter to 40 in the fourth. INCREDIBLE!!!!! This was a huge win for the Jazz, because nothing has gone right for the Jazz this year and it finally looked like they were having fun out there. The joy of this victory and knowing the Jazz can overcome anything if they play together and compete should give every Jazz fan hope of what is to come. In this game D-Will's swagger was back, Korver's shot was deadly and Millsap's hard work was off the chart. Mark my words but this win single handily saved the Jazz's season. It is this type of effort that every Jazz fan has been waiting for and I think Sloan has been waiting for it too. I am seriously at a loss for words because I am so proud of the Jazz. A couple days ago I predicted the Jazz would win by double digits, but I never EVER thought it would be one of the greatest games in franchise history. D-WILL AND THE JAZZ ARE BACK AND YOU GOTTA LOVE IT BABY!!!!
