Bungled play by the Jazz throws off the tempo and Hawes commits an off-balance foul. Not sure who is at the line for the Kings, because G&G are talking about Greg Oden.

Another pickoff by the Kings, Hawes and Garcia on the run, Hawes rumbling down like a runaway tank... Heads inside, and is fouled hard from behind.

Time out and commercial break.

Hawes at the line when we return...

Now THIS is Kings basketball. And this is at least part of what I've been waiting to see.

Heart and hustle, energy and excitement - Hawes, Martin and Garcia.

It looked like Jason Thompson was getting ready to come in, too...
 
Ronnie Price in for the Jazz and Bobby Brown in for the Kings.

Jazz ball.

1;40 left

Three-second violation on Jason Thompson. Korver shoots the freebie. Good.

23-18 KINGS

Jazz ball.

Thompson out after three minutes. Miller back in. Milsap jumper ties the score.

24-24

Brown to Miller, miss but Bobby chases it down. Brown to Greene, who cannot finish. Donte Greene is really a lot greener than Jason Thompson IMHO.

Jazz for three.

27-24 Jazz
 
Miller three doesn't fall; Jazz rebound.

Jazz three does fall.

29-24 Jazz

All of a sudden the Jazz have 11 unanswered points and Reggie calls a time out.

Grant is asking Jerry why Jason Thompson was pulled out, if it might be a SF match-up problem and Reynolds doesn't have an answer. Neither do I.

I still think Theus' substitution/rotation patterns are without sense or substance. And if he has a system, it's certainly well disguised. But that is, as always, just my three cents...

Kings will inbound after the commercial break.
 
TCR with another inane report...

Back to the game. Udrih, Jackson, Garcia, Moore and Miller for the Kings.

Jackson steps inside the arc and gets the long two.
