Game 1: Lakers 113, Jazz 100

It was a second half to build upon. It was a first half to forget. After the Jazz started the opening few minutes strong, the Lakers imposed their will on the visiting 8th seed and built a 22 point halftime lead. In the second half, the Jazz fought back to narrow the margin to as few [...]

Utah Jazz 106, Los Angeles Clippers 85

Unfortunately, I was unable to post about the last 3 Jazz games (losses at Dallas, at San Antonio and at home to Golden State). The losses at Dallas and at San Antonio can be expected by the home loss to the short-handed Warriors was perhaps the worst Jazz game of the year. After winning 15 [...]

Jazz Road Woes

The more things change, the more things stay the same.  Consider this 1987 interview that Karl Malone did with Los Angeles Lakers broadcaster Chick Hearn: What a great interview.  And where can I get those retro warmup pants?
