Jazz thrash Toronto Raptos on the road

Jazz crush the Toronto Raptors on 1st game of road trip – 3/24/10

// March 25th, 2010 // Game Summary

Probably the most impressive part of this game was that the Jazz outscored the Raptors in every quarter. So…just so we’re clear, the Jazz won, in case you didn’t figure out the whole outscoring thing.

Deron Williams had another near triple double with 18 points, 16 rebounds, 8 rebounds (and 4 steals). It was nice that Jose Calderon can never be bothered with defense so Williams was able to do pretty much everything he wanted in the game.

In front of a gigantic section of Turkish fans, Mehmet Okur had a decent night as well gettting 16 points and 8 rebounds (on only 38% shooting though). Memo played uncharacteristically good defense against Bosh and managed 3 blocks throughout the game. Bosh recently missed a handfull of games with a knee (or hamstring?) injury. I have to wonder if it was still bothering him considering he looked a little slow against Memo. It helped that when the Jazz doubled teamed him the rest of the Raptors couldn’t make shots to keep the game close.

Andrei Kirilenko sat the game out still w/ a sore calf even though he said he thought he could play. I’m glad he sat the game out though considering the Jazz faired quite well without him. The Jazz could need him to guard Danny Granger on Friday.
