The Utah Jazz sweep the San Antonio Spurs for the first time in 16 years (1993-1994). Kirilenko played like a sixteen million dollar man putting up 26-8 hitting on 11-15 shots and pretty much put on a shooting clinic against the Spurs. Boozer had a quick start that led the Jazz to an early lead and played like a freaking man down the streatch to complete the season sweep of the Spurs with 31-13. Millsap had a great game off the bench and Deron had his first back to back double double in the month of January. While there is still much concern about this Jazz team, it seems they have figured out the Spurs curse.  Now if we could only figure out those pesky Timberwolves. With a two day break before playing the New Jersey Nets on Saturday the Jazz should finish this week 2-0. The Jazz have 40 games left after tonight with 17 of those games coming against teams with a less than .500 record. I hope this is a good thing. They don't have a back to back game until Feb 9/10  so they should be able to run 6 of 7 or 5 of 7 games. Who was the last team to go on a 25-0 run and lose a game, I don't know, but they have to be really pissed. Stats of the night-11 turnovers, 9 blocks, and the Jazz shot 28-32 from the free throw line. The Jazz held the Spurs to 39.3% shooting and forced 16 turnovers. Tony Parker's +/- was -26 last night, is that possible?

Memo is still trying to block shots with his tongue , I think someone needs to tell him to use his hands. 90043307CE001_JAZZ_SPURS Jeremy Call
