And the momentum has changed, with the Jazz clearly in control.

Korver fallaway jumper for two.

105-91 Jazz

...sigh...

Salmons inside and off the glass for two.

105-93 Jazz

Williams miss; Miller rebound.

Harpring and Artest tangling some more. Sloan on his feet. Double technicals on Artest and Harpring - and in this instance I do not think Artest deserved it. Harpring and Okur have both been taking shots at him constantly and the officials have just let it go for the most part.

Time out and commercial.
 
And now the correction. Technical was called on Artest only - and that's flat out WRONG. Okur shoots the freebie and play will resume. Artest is rightfully upset but he has to put it past him.

Kings to inbound...

Bibby fallawy doesnt go. Willams rebound.

106-93 Jazz

Okur miss; Martin rebound.

Martin is fouled by Harpring. Non-shooting so Kings will inbound. Martin inside, tripped but no call. Utah rebound.

Oh boy. This is ugly. Harpring knocks Martin to the ground, Artest steps in to guard Kevin. Freaking officials don't call the T on Harpring and Reggie goes off on the ref. GOOD FOR HIM. Reggie called for the technical.

Time out and commercial.

This game is ugly and it's the fault of the officials. You could almost see them decide not to call fouls the Jazz committed on Artest and things escalated.

I will not fault Artest for stepping in and guarding Martin, who was slammed to the floor by Harpring who then turned around and looked as though he was going to go after Kevin again.

I hate the freaking Utah Jazz.
 
Korver shoots the freebie.

107-93 Jazz

..................................

Okay, the rest is just a matter of determining the final score.

I have to confess - I get very frustrated with Ron Artest but Grant made a good, good point. Artest has not done anything wrong on the court during his time with the Kings yet he continues to be subjected to different officiating than any other player on the court. He was being totally mugged by Harpring AND Okur and the officials looked the other way. That's not fair ... I'm very glad Reggie got upset enough about it to get the technical called. As frustrated as I get with Ron Artest, at some point the officials have to quit acting like he's the aggressor in every situation on the court.

Reggie clears the bench.

44 seconds left.

127-113 Jazz
