Utah Jazz Take Down King James and the Cavaliers
Posted: 10:56 p.m.
SALT LAKE CITY- The Utah Jazz pounced back from last weeks lost to the Lakers, and beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 106-99 at the Energy Solutions Center in downtown Salt Lake City. Andrei "AK-47" Kirilenko had a huge night with 21 blocks, 21 points, and four rebounds. Many of those blocks came off of LeBron James.
After the game, Utah Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan replied that "Our guys can do better on defense" and that it was a "close game." The Jazz were never behind in the entire game, but the Cavs tied the game eight different times.
After having his shot blocked last week by Kobe Bryant, Kirilenko's goal was to come out and prove that he could block shots too. In response to his 21 blocks, Kirilenko said the gives credit to "lots of energy and film."
James answered that overall the Cavs "were in it (the game) the entire time." And that it was in fact "the crowd who took us out of the game." The Utah Jazz have always had a very good home record which many people relate to the excitement and support of the crowd.
A couple last minute 3-pointers gave the Jazz the edge. Paul Milsap made a quick 3-pointer and then C.J. Miles got a steal and then made a last minute 3-pointer to put the Jazz up.
Carlos Boozer had the game high of 29 points, followed by James with 28.
The Jazz's next game will be Saturday November 9th at the Seattle SuperSonics.

I liked the information that was in there, you put in a lot and it summed the game up quite a bit. The first part said lost to instead of loss to, but thats really just a little slip. I think you need to make a bigger deal about the blocks record just to make the story unique. Also talk a little more about the Cavs just for a more national audience.
Very good article, or at least I thought so. What can I say? The error I saw was that you did put energy solutions center instead of energy solutions arena. We don't want to upset the good people at energy solutions. Other than that I liked it, For the short time we had you got a lot in, so keep it up
I agree with Greg Focus a little more on the record it sells
