Jazz-Warrior series

I thought the Jazz were going to fall into the same trap in their second-round series against the Warriors that the Houston Rockets did against the Jazz in the first round - win two close games at home, get blown out in two games on the road, win a close one at home, lose badly again on the road, then lose game seven at home. Well, no such luck for Golden State fans.

The young Jazz grew up a lot last night, down three entering the 4th quarter of game 4 last night in Oakland, they blow by the Warriors, outscoring them 40-23 on the way to a 115 - 101 win and a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

If anyone told you at the start of the season that the Jazz would end up one game away from the Western Conference finals, you'd think they were nuts.
