The best game Utah Jazz has played in the series against the worst playoff game played by LA Lakers has ended in a close 104-99 Utah win. That is not something very encouraging for the Jazz. We watched the game and all saw that the Lakers were not so far from come from "deep" behind win. It was a first game lost by Phil Jackson’s Lakers since April 8 loss against Portland.

When the players talk in a manner Carlos Boozer did after a win - "now we know what the formula for beating the Lakers" - it is usually ends up in "the face" of the big mouth. Carlos Boozer might be trying to pump his teammates confidence up, but, Kobe and Phil are neither deaf or without an ego. If anyone would get pumped up by this bragging - its the Lakers.

Interestingly enough, Utah Jazz owner - Larry Miller - will not be attending this game as most of the Mormon faith supporters, because of the fact the game will be played on Sunday afternoon - a reserved day statewide Church and family activities.

The game handicap spread was first set at Utah jazz -3, but has come down to -2 still with Utah favored to win the game. That usually happens through early betting by pro high rollers. We must pay close attention to that detail, since the changes of handicap spread close to the game is done because of one sided hype or the breaking news injuries, but when it happens that early - pros are correcting the bookies.

Professionally talking, not much has changed since the games one and two in the series, besides Boozer’s relative freedom in the paint. Ask Phil Jackson about that. He will make sure that does not reoccur.
