Jazz-Warriors: Report card--Deseret News

GUARDS: It's difficult to place too much blame on point man Jamaal Tinsley, a veteran who has become a third-string point guard for the Jazz. Tinsley tallied nine points, six rebounds and 13 assists in 34 minutes in place of Devin Harris and Earl Watson , who were sidelined with a strained left hamstring and strained left ankle, respectively. Gordon Hayward's 21 points in Raja Bell 's typical slot were offset by the high-octane play of Monta Ellis, who scored 33 points, and Stephan Curry, who scored 29 points on 10-14 shooting from the field. Together, the two Warrior guards went 11-13 from beyond the arc. Grade: B-

Briefly

The Jazz only had 10 active players against Golden State. Utah starting shooting guard Raja Bell missed his third consecutive game due to a strained right adductor. Bell did not travel with the team and an update about his status was not provided by tipoff Thursday. … No Jazz player was among the top vote-getters for the 2012 Western Conference All-Star starters, which were announced Thursday. Reserves will be named Feb. 9. Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson are Utah’s most likely options, but they face tough competition at the forward and center spots. Jeremy Evans could be selected for the dunk contest, while Gordon Hayward, Derrick Favors, Enes Kanter and Alec Burks are eligible for the annual Rookie-Sophomore game.

Randy Wittman’s message of accountability coming across to Wizards--Washington Post

When starters Young, John Wall, JaVale McGee and Jan Vesely struggled in the first quarter against Orlando, Wittman had no problem letting reserves Crawford, Shelvin Mack, Kevin Seraphin, Trevor Booker and Chris Singleton lead the Wizards back into the game with a 22-5 run that turned an 11-point deficit into a six-point lead. He also let them stay on the floor until their usefulness waned.
