Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Clippers: Report card--Deseret News
FORWARDS: Millsap deserved the standing ovation he received when he left the game in the third quarter. He finished with 20 points and six rebounds and got the Jazz off to a great start by scoring 10 points in the first quarter. Gordon Hayward struggled again, scoring just three points on 0-for-4 shooting in 17 minutes. Hayward brings the grade down. Caron Butler had a team-high 14 points, and if he's going to be the team leader the Jazz are in great shape. Blake Griffin had 10 points and only brought a couple of Showtime plays from L.A. Grade: B

Camaro leaping.
After watching Griffin vault himself over the Kia in last year's Slam Dunk Contest, Evans decided to go outside and see if he could spring himself over his sweet 2011 ride.
He didn't dunk over his car, but he did cleanly clear the front end — and he had extra incentive to do it.
"It's wide," Evans said, laughing. "If I didn't make it, I was going to put a dent in my car."
(Evans can jump anywhere he wants in a single bound, of course, but his Chevy Camaro has a heater.)
"It's not that wide," teammate and buddy Gordon Hayward joked from the next locker over. "I could jump over it."
Hayward quickly pumped up Evans' jumping abilities.
"I bet you could windmill over it," Hayward said, laughing.

Yet the Jazz’s main first unit — Devin Harris, Raja Bell, Gordon Hayward, Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson — hold a 7-2 record after Utah blew out Los Angeles 108-79. And the majority of Utah’s first five has seen increased offensive production during recent games.
“They understand where to get the ball to different guys at different times in the games … and they’re really trusting each other on the defensive end, and the communication’s been great,” Corbin said.

ATB: Michigan Shuts Down MSU, Florida State Scores, and Anthony Davis’ Block Record…--Rush The Court
The key to the game, however, was the consistent defensive pressure Michigan put on the Spartans’ primary three scorers: Draymond Green, Keith Appling, and Brandon Wood. The trio came in averaging 38 points per game, but were held to only 21 points on 9-26 shooting tonight. None of the three were ever able to find any sort of offensive rhythm, and when on the final possession Green ended up with the ball in his hands for a leaning jumper from the foul line, the shot was badly long with virtually no chance to drop in (watch the sequence below).

On Michigan State's last possession, Appling drove to the basket and had his shot blocked by Jordan Morgan. Brandon Wood of the Spartans came up with the ball, but didn't appear as if he wanted to shoot, leaving Green to create a shot that he missed.
''I got it up on the rim,'' Green said. ''I just couldn't get the bounce.''

"Our young guys looked young. The inexperience hurt us and Brandon Wood struggled," MSU coach Tom Izzo said. "I had to play Keith Appling so many minutes that by the end he was just walking on his knees. He's been one of my best players and he struggled tonight and it was more my fault than his."
