The Jazz "Step" All Over Cavaliers

SALT LAKE CITY - "I made a decision to step up my energy tonight," said Andrei "AK-47" Kirilenko after pulling in a personal season high 21-point game. The Jazz did step up their game with an impressive 106-99 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers

Utah Jazz Head Coach Jerry Sloan defined the game well when saying, "Our young guys stepped up today, our veterans struggled a bit, but that is the game." Jazz newbie forward/center, Paul Millsap, brought the Utah fans to their feet with his minute-to-go 3-point swoosh. Following Millsap’s performance, C.J. Miles of the Jazz ended the game with 3-point basket with a stolen Cavalier ball.

Mike Brown, Cavaliers head coach, felt that his team felt played well. "We were in there the whole game. We just could not get things together (…) on time." LeBron James lead the Cavaliers in points, steals and blocks.

The Jazz will be hoping to keep stepping up as they travel to Seattle to play SuperSonics on Friday.

Yes, you did forget a period, good observation. You're article was very fun to read. I could tell you know your stuff about sports. I loved your wording and phrasing used to describe plays, and the action of the game. It really brought it to life. The only minor thing i noticed is that in the second paragraph...I believe 'Jerry Sloan' should be set off with commas. Overall though awesome job with this article! :) Lets get a study group together for next week

Well good job! Your article sounded really good! It actually sounded like you knew about the Jazz :) I guess the only thing I noticed was at the beginning you said that Kirilenko personal high was the 21-point game, I think he meant his high was the 21 blocks...anyways good job!
