Kyrylo Fesenko got his first start in an NBA playoff game, and he contributed just enough. His 20 minutes allowed Boozer and Millsap to get proper rest. But the real key was Deron Williams. He proved to the world he's the best point guard in the NBA right now with his 33 points, 14 assists as the Jazz, without Andrei Kirilenko or Mehmet Okur) beat the Nuggets 114-111. It was a fun game to watch. It provided clues as to how the Jazz could win this series too.
The Jazz got into the Nuggets' heads. They played tougher defense on Carmelo Anthony. They frustrated them with their slicing and dishing. That said, it took top games from D-Will and Boozer to squeak out a three-point win. The jazz will have to keep playing at that level to hold home-court.
I'll be there for Game 3.
