“It was a tough game for us,” said Jazz guard Deron Williams(notes), who finishedwith 11 assists. “We had to win it on the defensive end and that’s what wedid.”
“I thought Andrei had a great game off the bench,” Jazz coach Jerry Sloansaid. “Boozer made all these free throws and made some key baskets to help uswin the ball game.”
