Saturday, May 10, 2008 3:21 AM
From wire reports
Carlos Boozer broke out of his slump with 27 points and tied his career playoff high with 20 rebounds, leading the Utah Jazz to a 104-99 victory over Los Angeles last night, cutting the Lakers' lead in the Western Conference semifinal series to 2-1.
It was the Lakers' first loss this postseason.
Utah's victory, meanwhile, made home teams 11-0 in the four conference semifinal series.
Deron Williams had 18 points and 12 assists for Utah, which atoned for two miserable games in Los Angeles by taking the lead early in the second quarter and holding it the rest of the way.

Officials in Utah are ridiculously bad.
I don't think I can watch any more of their junk when they throw out Turiaf.
Guess it just reaffirms that that place is a ____hole.
