The Utah Jazz pulled a 123-115 victory over the LA Lakers on Sunday, and now the series is tied at 2-2. The Utah Jazzed let a 12-point slip away is the last four minutes of the game and that is the reason why they played overtime. Utah has then released their toughest defense against the Lakers. Kirlenko emerged a hero when he blocked league MVP Kobe Bryant twice and converted a three point play in the last 35 seconds. A huge contribution to the win of Utah Jazz was their converted free throw shots, making 37 out of 45 free throws. Bryant never came up with excuses and commended Kirlenko and the Utah Jazz. He said, “They did a terrific job. They did big plays when they needed to.”

Manchester super star Ched Evans just saved Wales with a finishing goal. The twenty two year old rising prodigy was able to indulge in plenty of free ball passes until Iceland got back their groove and retaliated against Wales for not taking the most out of the early advantage. Pami Palson was able to scrum free of the boxed situation with a low shot but it was blocked by Craig Morgan just in time to put up the team’s challenge. The players displayed suave reflexes in the game but in the end, the win was Wales. Congrats Chad!

No one likes to see the hottest player on the field get bullied, but for the likes of Football eye candy David Beckham, the soccer world has made an exception. It seems that the football world has lost much of their sympathy for him when he became the biggest celebrity to dominate the field. Posh Spice’s hubby apparently got the boot when he got himself injured on the first five minutes of the English play-offs, rendering himself, pretty much useless the entire game night. Yes, he did lose his captainship. News has it that he will be moving to the US with his family.

In an athlete’s life, there are times when you will hit the end of your ropes, but not Tiger Woods. The world’s number one golfer and 13-time major winner has had surgery on his left knee. Woods had surgery on the same knee twice and he is expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks. The golf champion wouldn’t be able to defend his title at the Wachovia Championship scheduled on May 1-4. In a statement by Woods, he said that he has been through this before and he knows how to handle it. He is a true champ indeed.

The Washington Wizard’s guard Arenas is excited and all psyched after their practice. He knows that he hasn’t played in a long time, but the shot is still there, so when he comes off that bench, there is going to be some trouble. He was out of the wizards because he had to undergo a knee surgery.
Arenas, usually a master of self-promotion, began a media boycott when he returned from a 66-game absence on April 2. He steered cleared of the cameras and scribes until the regular season was over.

As with the case of the Knicks, the Chicago bulls have fired Coach Jim Boylan. The Bulls won 49 games last season, but took a big step backward in 2007-’08, finishing 33-49. After their disappointing and disturbing performance for the season, John Paxson had decided to do that act although he said he was the one accountable for that.
This move was the first of the changes that is to come to the Bulls for the next season. I hope they can get back into their game as they used to do way back before.

Kevin Garnett missed his second straight practice for family reasons. But his team is confident that he will give his best when the game comes against Atlanta. He was absent because his wife had delivered a baby as newspapers reported.
Garnett exceeded his season averages in the games with 23.7 points, 13.7 rebounds and a 62.5 percent shooting percentage.
His teammates say that when Garnett is present, their defensive intensity is always tops. But since he was absent, the intensity was not that high. Fortunately, their game has been delayed since their opponent has not yet finished their previous games.

Dallas Mavericks comment that they were pleased to be facing the New Orleans Hornets in the opening round of the NBA playoffs, rather than the top-seeded Los Angeles Lakers. Getting what they wished for may be an exciting event for both teams.
The Hornets haven’t been playing their best basketball lately, losing four of their last six games. But that doesn’t mean that they will lose immediately to the Mavericks although experience-wise the Mavericks has the upper hand. Hoping for the best and expecting the worst, my bet is on the Mavericks.

The Atlanta Hawks are to face the 66=win Boston Celtics. Almost everybody is thinking that they don’t stand a chance against the Celtics. Their coach even shaved his head to distract the team from this reality.
Boston‘s Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen will make sure that Atlanta would not get in their way. Their only weakness may well be overconfidence. That makes the odds of beating them very low.
Also, history is against them since only a few teams have made it from the number eight spot. Well, that will make the game very exciting don’t you think?
