Built Ford Tough Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 SALT LAKE CITY -- After losing five of six, Utah Jazz players admitted to being a bit "chippy" at practice on Thursday. They took out their frustration on a young Washington Wizards team Friday night, leading by 12 at halftime and scoring 38 points in the third quarter en route to a 114-100 victory. Al Jefferson did most of the damage, scoring a season-high 34 points, including 26 in the first half and 14 straight in the second quarter. "We didn't have any fight against him in the first half," Wizards coach Randy Wittman said. "He did whatever he wanted with the ball. And we didn't really seem to let it bother us." Jefferson had eclipsed his season high of 30 points with nearly 5 minutes left in the third as the Jazz led by as many as 28. He finished 16 of 23 with 12 rebounds, three steals and a blocked shot. "He looked really sharp out there and the offense kind of ran through him," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said. "He made the right shots and passed to his teammates when he was double-teamed." Washington was within 10 points early in the third before Utah blew the game open with runs of 8-0 and 20-8. "It was very important [to put them away]," said backup point guard Earl Watson, who added five points, a blocked shot and two assists. "With a young team like that, they like to play free, and you have to be careful." John Wall led the Wizards with 24 points, while Jordan Crawford added 21 off the bench. http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20120217_WAS@UTA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
