NBA Playoffs Preview: Spurs Vs. Jazz Game 3

Is there a way the Utah Jazz can win Saturday night against the San Antonio Spurs? The first two games were lopsided and both were won in the second quarter.

Here are 5 things the Jazz must do to win.

1. Match Spurs energy. A 48-minute with sustain energy is a must. The Spurs are old enough to get tired easily.

2. Win the first half especially the second quarter. It’s hard to come back when your playing the number 1 defense. Letting go of the game in the second quarter is unforgivable.

3. Contain Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli.  Make them work harder by not giving easy baskets. How about putting Kirilenko on Ginobli everytime?

4. Execute the offense. Create something that will allow the Spurs to adjust on their defense.

5. Stay close until the end. Dallas beat the Spurs last year because every game they had the opportunity to win at the last seconds.

If  the Jazz won’t do these, Charles Barkley would be losing his credibility again by switching his pick.
