Aldridge turnaround jumper on Elson, who doesn't even lift a finger. Makes me think that Fes would be better out there.
Zero sign of Fesenko. He's either not 100% healthwise, or Phil Johnson might be the source of KF's burial in the doghouse.
Update: Elson does get down for the fast break after a failed postup of Jefferson (and subsequent steal of the pass), but Elson commits a weak foul, and Portland gets the And 1.
Utah is in this game because of outside shooting. And that's no secure position to be in.
Portland points in the paint: 26 to 12. The Elson-Jefferson pairing isn't overly impressive.
Both teams are 8-5. But Utah would be at least 11-2 if it weren't for the rebounding (or coaching).
POR 48-45 halftime. Oh, and btw, the Blazers are without some dude named Brandon.
Portlant OREBs: 10. Utah OREBs: 1. [This alone is basis for benching someone.]
