Owner Real Deal Posted January 3, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21487891.jpg SALT LAKE CITY -- The Utah Jazz quickly put 2012 in the rearview mirror. After closing out the year with tough back-to-back losses to the Los Angeles Clippers, the Jazz opened 2013 with an overpowering 106-84 victory over an uninspired Minnesota Timberwolves team on Wednesday. The Jazz did it despite knowing starting point guard Mo Williams will be out at least another six weeks after opting for surgery on his injured right thumb. "Our confidence never wavered," said Earl Watson, who stepped up with nine assists in sharing point guard duties Wednesday with Jamaal Tinsley. "Everybody is a little heartbroken about Mo," added power forward Derrick Favors. "But we know he's going to be all right. We just came out there and played like he was with us." It helped that Tinsley shot 6 of 8 and finished with 12 points. It also helped that Paul Millsap, who had seen his playing time diminish with the emergence of Favors, started 7 of 7 and finished with 14 points as his coach experimented with rotations. And it helped that Andrei Kirilenko, facing his former team for the first time since signing with Minnesota, couldn't keep his own hot streak going. Kirilenko received a warm round of applause from fans during introductions and started 3 of 3 but finished with just 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20130102_MIN@UTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
