Paul Millsapp.... My man... He should be MIP and is on his way to be selected to Allstar teams. No recap can actually recap a game like this. So many unbelieveable things happened. Deron's stellar performance in 2nd half, AK's being X-factor, Millsap's manhandling all the Heat defense by himself during 3rd period, the Jazz's responding to the late surge of Millsap and keeping believing. Even CJ looked OK, even if he took some ill-advised shots. His defense and assertiveness were good signs. Finally, we got some respectable production from bench. We had to because Deron fouled out.
I hope Big Al gets the message from Jerry. Fes was a game changer. He could not contain Bosh on 1-on-1 and Bosh went on to score and helped Miami make a 9-0 run after the Jazz got their first lead, however, he set the tone and hustled for rebounds, charges. He was a momentum changer. Sloan kept him in the game and rewarded him. I hope the one with only fresh legs, Al Jeff will prove to be big against league's unarguably best center, the Superman.
Also, the Jazz should make sure of winning at least one other game in this road trip in order to consider this trip successful. Please do not mess up this win.
