No place like Jazz's home By Steve Kerr Sunday, May 27, 2007 1:48 am EDT Don't be surprised that the Utah Jazz took care of business at home Saturday by pounding the San Antonio Spurs to cut their West finals lead to 2-1. Utah is now 7-0 at EnergySolutions Arena in the postseason, continuing a long tradition of dominance in Salt Lake City. During the NBA finals in 1997 and 1998, I had never heard anything so loud as the pregame introductions at the Delta Center. The fans in Salt Lake are incredibly vocal and the configuration of the stands puts the fans almost directly on top of the court. I literally had to plug my ears to try to drown out the sound, but it was useless. On top of the noise, Utah's fans have always tended to yell and scream at the officials the entire game. I always felt as a player that if there was one arena where referees were possibly manipulated it was the Delta Center. It is human nature to try to appease people in that situation, and with every Karl Malone kick and John Stockton elbow, it seemed to me the officials would eventually succumb to the crowd's wishes. There was no tougher place to play. After his Warriors were eliminated in Utah in the conference semifinals, Don Nelson said that he had "never heard a better crowd." On Saturday, the Spurs found out just how tough the Jazz's fans can make it on the visiting team. Utah got a great game out of Deron Williams, terrific bench play and the best defense Mehmet Okur has ever played on Tim Duncan. And now the Jazz are back in the series.
