Getting to the Hart of the Matter

Jan 08 2008
Just when all hopes were lost, the Jazz pulled off a shorthanded victory at Energy Solutions Arena. Anything to be excited about? Well, not exactly.
Ronnie Price joined Andrei Kirilenko on the Injured list after last week's game in Portland, leaving Utah with one less hand to help out off the bench.
It could have been for the better. In last week's game against the Trailblazers, Ronnie Price played 4 minutes and Jason Hart was limited to 12. In tonights game, Jason Hart played 23 productive minutes, with 11 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.
After the starters put down the hurt on the Pacers, leading 40-19 after the first quarter, the minutes were shared all around. No Jazz player surpassed 26 minutes for the first time this season.
They were all productive minutes too. In 24 minutes of play, Carlos Boozer scored 22 points and grabbed 4 boards. In the 25 that Deron Williams played, he scored 10 points and dished 9 dimes.
Indiana felt bench woes as Utah's outscored them 54-35 and recorded 4 less turnovers.
The curse of the thrid quarter seemed to dissapate as the Jazz outscored the Pacers by 7.
Morris Almond made his first NBA debut since being sent down to the D-League. He went 1-5 from the field, scoring his first career points with 56 seconds left in the game.
The Jazz play Phoenix on Thursday.
