Down 3-1 to the Jazz in the first round, no doubt the Nuggets have missed Coach Karl’s leadership during this series. I had a chance to sit down and talk with George last season about his career, his relationships with his players and the biggest keys for his team to be successful in the playoffs. The Denver Nuggets need a win at home tonight in order to extend the series. Tune in for live coverage at 10:30 PM ET on TNT.

The Utah Jazz have had a great run so far in the playoffs and are only one win away from closing out the series after sweeping the Nuggets in three straight. In September Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan was inducted into the Basketball Hall for Fame along with Michael Jordan, David Robinson, John Stockton and C. Vivian Stringer. Now in his 22nd season with Utah, Coach Sloan has accrued more than 1,000 victories during his illustrious career. Prior to his induction I had a chance to talk to the NBA TV crew about his coaching style and influences.

Fratello Telestrator: Blazers’ Defense Does In the Suns

After dropping two in a row, the Blazers pulled out all the stops (including the unexpected reactivation of Brandon Roy) and turned things around to tie up the series with a win over the Suns in Game 4. In addition to an aggressive offensive attack led by LaMarcus Aldridge with 31 points, Portland’s defense effectively limited Phoenix to 87 points, their lowest score of the season.

After Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavs to a Game 1 win with his amazing 36-point performance, Spurs were determined prevent him from having another near perfect game in the rematch. The Spurs succeeded in slowing Dirk down and wound up taking Game 2 to tie up the series at one a piece.
