Owner Real Deal Posted November 11, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 SALT LAKE CITY -- Al Jefferson was still feeling a bit queasy from a stomach ailment. He just didn't let it show on the court Saturday night. A day after shooting 1 of 9, Jefferson looked like a new man, scoring a season-high 27 points and adding 14 rebounds in the Utah Jazz's 94-81 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Paul Millsap added 18 points and 13 rebounds for Utah, which built a 22-point lead, then went to its veterans after the Suns pulled within five late. "We knew we had to close it out at the end," said Jefferson, who along with Millsap had six points, four rebounds and a steal in the fourth. "We're two of the three leaders on this team and one of our leaders [Mo Williams] was out. We just had to step up, and finish the game off. It was a big game before we hit the road, and the way we played last night, we had to have a special night." The Jazz lost by 20 to Denver on Friday night. Phoenix, meanwhile, overcame a 26-point deficit to beat Cleveland. The Suns looked as if they might pull off another huge comeback when Michael Beasley's follow dunk after a Jazz turnover cut Utah's lead to 79-74 with about five minutes remaining. But Millsap ended a scoreless streak of nearly 6 minutes with a 19-footer to start a 7-0 run, capped by Marvin Williams' 3 pointer. The Suns pulled within seven again, only to have Jefferson hit a 10-foot turnaround jump shot, then block Luis Scola at the other end.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121110_PHO@UTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
