-Road Game
-Three superstars vs 1
-Project 25+ point loss (PTI)
-Down 22 points in the first half
-Down 8 points with 37 seconds left
-Very very very very bad refs though game
The list could go on. Really, for pages and pages. The odds were against the Jazz like none other. And they pulled it off. Here's David Lockes last minute recap
" Deron gave the Jazz a brief lead, but the Heat answered on a 9-0 run that was seemingly insurmountable. With the score 98-90 and 37.3 seconds left insanity happened.
:28.7 – Millsap hits his first three and the Jazz are within 5 and need to foul
:27.3 – Fesenko alertly sprints up the floor to foul Deron’s man as Deron has 5 fouls. Arroyo hits 1 of the 2 free throws. Miami by 6.
:21.9 – Deron hits a three to make it a 3 point game, heads up to still have Deron in the game not fouled out.
:19.3 - Fesenko fouls Arroyo again. Heads up again. Arroyo hit both to make it a 5 point game.
:12.1 - Millsap magic strikes again from three and it is a 2 point game.
:10.1 – Arroyo goes to the line and hits both free throws to make it a 4 point game. Deron fouled Arroyo
:04.3 – Millsap does it a third time. And it is a one point game.
:04.3 – Deron tries to draw an offensive foul on the inbound from Arroyo, he had been lobbing the official the play before but he gets caught fouling Arroyo before the inbound so the Heat get a free throw for a dead ball foul but Arroyo misses.
:03.4 - Wade is fouled and only makes 1 of 2. It is a 2 point game
:00.0 - Amazingly, Jerry Sloan has a timeout left. The draw up play is for CJ Miles who misses in the corner and Millsap offensive rebound put back beats the Horn and we are going to ot. Without the timeout nobody is in rebounding position and the game doesn’t go to OT."
The Jazz then beat all odds and win in OT WITHOUT Dwill (fouled out)
if you missed this game. I'm sorry, your going to need some serious rehab, this game tops any Jazz game i have seen in my 18 year as a Jazz fan.
What did we learn?
-Miami has some serious flaws down low.
-Bosh is soft. The guy has 3 inches on Paul.
-Miami has three guys who can take over games, but can still lose against a full team.
-Dwill goes, Jazz goes. Dwill had 19 and 12 in second half.
-Millsap > Chuck Norris. No explanation needed.
-Bell was a good pickup. What many of you guys don't know is that Bell had a speech at half time which all the players say inspired/touched them into a victory. Sure he didn't play good offensively. But that must of been a helluva speech.
-The Jazz have potenial
-This could be a turning point
-I am happy
-You are happy
-Millsap trended #2 on twitter. And boy was that fun to read
-Rambling
-Big Al=Struggling. Panic=Don't. When does he get better?=10 games
Orlando Tonight people. And even though Miami dismantled the Magic, I still think that this is the toughest game of the road trip. Back to back after a tough team. A game after a 2OT and a OT game. We are going to be tired, lets win this Jazz...Please.
