After winning the opener of a grueling, six-game road trip the Chicago Bulls have fallen on hard times.

He used to do it at a much more outrageous rate. But Andrei Kirilenko still is swatting at quite a clip, and soon - perhaps sometime in the remaining five outings of a six-game homestand, which includes tonight's meeting with Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder - the forward from Russia should tie and move past Greg Ostertag for second place ...

The girl wearing an Oklahoma City jersey and holding an "I luv Kevin Durant" sign probably had a blast.

Back from a weeklong training session at the Peak Performance Project in Santa Barbara, Calif., Kyle Korver said Wednesday he was encouraged about making his return from left knee surgery in a matter of weeks.

The Utah Jazz shoot for their ninth straight win over the Detroit Pistons tonight when the two teams square off at EnergySolutions Arena.

Deron Williams scored 21 points and dished out 10 assists, including a key pass to Carlos Boozer for a lead-extending layup late in the fourth, as Utah downed depleted San Antonio, 90-83, at AT&T Center.

As Kyrylo Fesenko stole the ball from Chris Bosh near mid-court in the first quarter, kept it himself as he headed the other way and danced around Jose Calderon for a layup, the Jazz couldn't have appeared in for an easier night against the Toronto Raptors.

Bryon Russell's feel-bads were hurt by Michael Jordan and he's yapping about doing a 1-on-1 rematch.

In a weekend, two Jazz rookies grew up. Big-time. "They're more confident," forward Carlos Boozer said after a four-game Eastern road trip that ended with starting point guard Deron Williams back in Utah tending to an ill child, a win Friday at Philadelphia without him and a loss Saturday in Cleveland.

Maybe it was one of those laugh-or-cry situations, and perhaps it was no big deal, really, but with two minutes left in the Jazz's humiliating loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night, Andrei Kirilenko sat on the bench, busting out a big grin, yucking it up.

Utah point guard Deron Williams missed his second straight game Saturday night against Cleveland to deal with a family medical issue.

For the first time in his career, Jazz backup power forward Paul Millsap is listed on the NBA's All-Star Game ballot.
