You can't ever count this team out. EVER.
Even with a clearly tired Cuz again, we get down 20 in the third to a defensive juggernaught, go to the bench and out pythoned the python while our offense got better quarter by quarter.
Good stuff. Now just 1/2 game out of the #8 spot, and Portland is down 22 in the 3rd -- they lose, and we are tied.

Cousins ( C ) -- again did not have legs on the back to back, but fortunately not so lost as he was last year after the 56pt game that ended our season. Missed a number of chippees that were more missed than Goberted. We were largely better without him, but down the stretch got to the line repeatedly, and finally put the Jazz away.
