Game 39: Utah Jazz vs New York Knicks

vs
131 - 125
Season Record: 26-13

You can't really score 131 points in a game and get off to a slow start. So thats good the Jazz got off to a good start tonight. One of the few times this season. I listened to most of the game at work and i think the better start was really really good for the Jazz in this game. Yeah they have shown they can battle back and overcome a deficit. Yeah they can stop teams defensively at times to get back in a game. However, i've seen many games that they have got down early and the other team can stay hot and hold off the Jazz. I'm sure this game would have been just that. The Knicks were shooting great and the Jazz couldn't really stop them, but it didn't really get the Jazz down much because they were in the lead.

I know its obvious, but the Jazz really play better from ahead than from behind. I'm glad they can play decent from behind and overcome and comeback, but man they really play better when in the lead, they are just a better team. True of all teams i think. Starting slow is just one chink in the Jazz armor i think.
