Jazz Notes:
Sloan likes what Suns do

Like most NBA coaches, Jerry Sloan admires the way Mike D'Antoni has shaped
a frequently unstoppable offense from small-but-quick players.
"Mike does a terrific job, because you can see how comfortable their team
is with what they're doing," Sloan said. "They have a tremendous feel for
each other. It's not easy to do."
He should know. A dozen years ago, after adding Jeff Hornacek to a nucleus
that already included above-average fast-break players like John Stockton,
Karl Malone, David Benoit and Tom Chambers, Sloan and assistant coach Phil
Johnson decided to implement a similar run-on-every-play style in hopes of
countering the league's trend toward slow-down defensive teams and break the
Jazz's playoff jinx.
"We tried opening it up, not quite the way [the Suns] do because they
have better three-point shooters, but we went to more of a running game,"
Sloan recalled of the fall of 1994. "We scored a lot of points and won some
games [7-1] in the exhibition season. Some guys liked it, some guys didn't."
When the season began, however, defenses got more serious about holding
up Utah's running game, and the Jazz had difficulty scoring in the final
minutes of games. Utah, which had just been to the Western Conference finals
six months earlier, opened the season 2-4, and one notable part of the
running game was discouraged.
"John came to us and said, 'This doesn't seem to be working. We've got
to switch this up,' " Sloan recalled. "We've got to find some way to give
ourselves a chance to win."
The Jazz went back to their patterned half-court offense and soon reeled
off a 22-2 streak of success en route to their first 60-win season. "I don't
know, it might have worked had we stuck with it," Sloan said. "But we seemed
to win more games posting up Karl Malone than having him running and shooting
jump shots on the perimeter."
Briefly
The Jazz had Sunday off. . . . With Saturday's win, the Jazz became the
first team to beat Phoenix three times in one season since Steve Nash joined
the Suns three years ago. . . . The Suns were 23-1 entering the game when
Amare Stoudemire reached 20 points. He scored 28 against the Jazz. . . . The
Jazz are 6-0 against Central Division teams.
