Jazz Turn on the Energy and Put down Cleveland
SALT LAKE CITY, UT - After a loss last Monday, the Utah Jazz increased their energy and pulled a seven-point win over the Cleveland Cavaliers at 106-99. With a home court advantage, the Jazz were able to pull ahead at the last few minutest of the game. Utah Jazz Head Coach Jerry Sloan said, "I feel our team could have don’t better defensively." Speaking about the end of the game and the performance of his players, Sloan also said, "It could have gone either way."
Andrei Kirilenko had an improved performance in contrast with the previous game. He was able to block a slam-dunk attempted by LeBron James of the Cavaliers. This was, according to Kirilinko, a type of recompense for he himself being blocked in a slam-dunk in the previous game.
Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Mike Brown said about the game, "Nothing went wrong. We were right there the whole game. We just couldn’t get things together to pull it out in time." Both coaches agreed that the game was in the air and winnable by either team right down till the end. "We just didn’t have chemistry at the end to pull out the win," says Brown.
Sloan attributes the end of game success to CJ Miles and Paul Millsap for their three pointers scored outside of their planned for plays. "Gave the veterans some energy," Sloan comments. This helped, along with Kirilinko's contributed energy throughout the game. The Jazz look forward to playing the Seattle SuperSonics this coming Friday.

No one leaves me posts so I will leave one myself. I think I did well. I am not particularly fond of sports stories but I think I utilized the quotes well. I was surprised to spit out so much material I might add. Well...there is my comment for myself.
You definitely got the most important info out first. You were able to write so much in the time given....very impressive.
I really enjoyed reading your story it kept me interested. However the first sentence of your last paragraph I was a bit confused on what you were trying to say. Other than that great job!
