2007 West Finals Game 2 Highlights – Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs
To keep the momentum from what they did in the fourth quarter well they got off to a great start in game one it wasn’t the first quarter it was the second quarter you got to play 48 minutes in this league and their defense has to the
Spurs shot a playoff high 54% from the field in game one Williams goes back door nice move on a feed from booer get better defensive end but they need him to be an impact on the offensive end he’s so effective when he’s slashing into the hoop and getting quality shots
Underneath Parker that jum has been falling with regularity for the past couple years an Allstar this year in 2007 you thought it they’re going to need ok to knock down shots and it starts with perimeter play in San Antonio lead they’re four or five from the field
Already Boozer nice High aring play from booer the last two baskets for each team came off cross screen where they caught it at the little pocket right on on the dotted Circle fer steals it and gets an easy one and here’s the defense you spoke of they have to be aggressive
Defensively in all of basketball in my opinion put Darren Williams in pick and roll situation kolinko oh nice play from kolinko on the inbound the other big steps over and okur instead of being on the weak side block is at the three-point line it’s a very difficult
Close out Parker the floater so pretty Tony parcker the Spurs is six of seven from the field Williams to the basket inside the Boozer oh nice pass and Greg papovich Furious calls timeout creating offense busting by Tony par and then the help comes late hands off the booer that’s getting it
Done on the offensive L has turned it around last two years become one of the best at his position fires away and knocks it down on two and that’s the reason why Spurs not afraid to push they’re a team they don’t have that reputation but they can play Up Tempo
Parer into the paint again and that’s how you run the pick and roll Tony par initially comes off the inadvertent trip obviously Here Comes fiser pass deflected by job got his hands on another oh and a play from koleno tipping it to Boozer number of deflections here early from Mano
Job and then a great play from kolinko that’s volleyball that was volleyball right now it’s time to pick a side right now to hang on for the right right now it’s really do loser inside against Duncan gathers himself and able to put it in that’s just good timeing Barry and Francisco Elson has
Both in for the Spurs Parker left open that’s a two-pointer b about that before the game I said well you just saying that to go through the motions sometimes coaches try to play Mind Games said I don’t play Mind Games I tell my gu the truth Barry Elson inside nice layup from
The athletic Elson your job in a two-on-one fast break first of all Parker gets rid of the basketball and then Barry makes a Defender Darren William comes towards him and he finds Elson year but so far in this series it’s been a weakness and that’s why Jerry Sloan has gone back to his
Starters so quickly Boer puts it in his team he said Parker wants to push largest lead here in the first half Parker gets the drop again such a soft touch hey we’re not working hard enough and we’re not sticking with our plays if the first look isn’t there you’re
Panicking stay with the play execute we have plenty of time loser took his time there and Drew the foul Lisa as so far in the playoffs two and five on the road they’ve never been a great Road team before of course one of the road wings with game seven in Houston as Barry
Lines it up that’ss another Barry from downtown again and it all starts with the pick and roll execution don’t allow him to go away from it the defense has to converge and the result is Brent Barry with a spot of jump Parker out to finle that’s a three puts it
In of the key in the free throw line thir letting him get a running start at the pain area marker with four assists Boer has come back with a strong first half going to get by him Parker kicks it out Barry for three bang another Duncan puts it in I tell you you
Have to I really I really believe that you thought about that before I brought it up people thought was going to be startable in the NBA he’s had some superb games in the playoffs Duncan no cor went for the steel and Duncan burned him let’s go back to Duncan for a minute
I thought they defended the pick and roll better on that situation except for Ur not that time Boozer rushed the follow and finely the rebound you don’t want to raise the rim do you oh another pass from Parker the Spurs threading the needle again tighten
The ball game and if you had a jazz that should be your soul Miss fiser now 0 for five from the field marker Finley for three again eight three-pointer of the game for San Antonio as they open up a 22 point lead a hand up and deter him from
Stepping into a rhythm jump shot Williams to Boozer and a nice move from bruer off the glass collectively anybody lets up they get an easy fask well the Jazz bench very upset they felt born fouling Williams back door Play Pretty feed from Boozer to Williams Carlos Boozer upset about not playing
Well in game one certainly has delivered in game two setting the tone for the Utah Jazz Carlos Boozer and Andre kolinko out there for Utah Fisher to the basket can’t get it the four Boozer on the follow BS it in and a foul Parker Bowen of three puts it in
Big three-pointer for Bruce Bowen that’s how they’re told to call the block Char I cannot believe I’m sitting next to you saying that you teach that every single day mil up great defense and picks up the CH fer way off and dun in the rebound Parker job BS it
In point lead Bruce bone with some big buckets you use the old boxing term the Spurs continue to keep the jab in your face you get close they Tony Parker sees job running on the weak side Chris bounce fast job at The Rim Spurs continue [Applause]
To Boozer inside reverse gets it and a foul and Carlos pza cuts it to 11 and side of the rim and now as you see slips and pick and roll boom goes up under and finishes and one and that takes away Tim Duncan’s ability as we see it again to block the initial
Shot jobi his fourth foul carollyn games against ying and the rockets Duncan inside flips it in it’s the benefit of the whistle Parker kicks it out Bowen another three bang Bruce Bowen knocking down Big Shots his third of the game on the inbound can’t get it the full har the
Rebound Boozer quick jumper oh booer having a terrific offensive game now at 33 up two up a minute to go Bowen back out Parker a rare three it’s good Pony Parker one for 11 in the playoffs from downtown seals the victory with that one Los of the rebound and San Antonio Spurs their
Fourth straight win they took game five and six against Phoenix one and two against Utah and they lead the Western Conference Finals two games to nothing they shot a playoff by 54% in game one well they beat that in game two just under 56% from the field for the
Spurs led by Tim Duncan who’s with Michelle the Spurs 105 and the Jazz 96 series moves to Utah
