Round2 Game 1 Utah@SanAntonio Utah wins in overtime 107-101
The first signs that this series is going to be a tough one. I’m really happy I was able to take homecourt advantage away from the Spurs.
They started out hitting all their shots (8-8), and Spurs carried a 12point halftime lead. They found their offence from S.Smith and Tim Duncun. Unfortunately for the Spurs Duncan and Robinson got in foul trouble in the 3rd. M.Rose and D.Ferry came in, Malone quickly took advantage of Ferry’s poor defence.
Down the stretch in the 4th quarter Malone missed two clutch freethrows that may have sealed the game for the Jazz. Duncan made a powerfull inside move, and a tough fade away on the right baseline over Malone to send the game into OT.
In the overtime period, the Spurs looked tired, some lazy defence by B.Bowen allowed Harpring to leak out on the break (see caption). S.Smith made 1-3 3point shots down the stretch, and Utah Jazz pulled out Game1!.
