Owner Real Deal Posted January 10, 2013 Author Owner Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Utah coach Tyrone Corbin preached to his team before the game not to take the Charlotte Bobcats for granted. Apparently his team listened. Al Jefferson had 26 points and eight rebounds, and the Jazz posted a wire-to-wire 112-102 victory Wednesday night against the Bobcats for their fourth win in five games. Jefferson was 11 of 15 from the field and the Bobcats simply had no answer for the 6-foot-10 center in the paint. Paul Millsap chipped in with 19 points and Gordon Hayward was 4 of 5 from 3-point range for 14 points as the Jazz made light work of the Bobcats' zone defense, shooting 54 percent from the field. "They tried to double-team me and Paul got off," Jefferson said. "They start worrying about Paul, I got off. They start worrying about both of us, Gordon and [DeMarre Carroll] and all those guys start hitting big shots. It just all worked out." Utah led from the opening tip, building a 19-point halftime lead. The Jazz (19-18) never allowed the Bobcats to get any closer than 10 in the second half and moved back above .500. "We wanted to make sure that we didn't come out and take these guys for granted," Corbin said. "They play hard and they played hard for an entire 48 minutes. They can make shots and attack the basket hard." Ben Gordon led six Bobcats in double figures, scoring 20 points. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had 15 points and eight rebounds, while Gerald Henderson, Ramon Sessions and Kemba Walker each had 14 points for the Bobcats (9-25).http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20130109_UTA@CHA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
