Al was good but I think Favors was an absolute game changer. He really helped give us a big lead while he was in.

Big Al, you can't overlook the fact that he, literally, won the game for us.......

There were at least two occasions in the last two minutes where even a modest defensive effort from the guy playing center for the Jazz would've prevented a Kings layup.

With a little more defensive effort in the final 4-5 minutes the Jazz wouldn't have need a miraculous bail out of a Devin Harris airball.

Tough crowd. Al had a great game. He passed the ball out of the post at least 3 times in the 4th quarter for an open 3, which nobody could hit.

That's perfectly true...... I remember on one possession, Cousins was able to dribble past 3 Jazz defenders and get a layup on a fast break....... That's ridiculous......

None of that changes that without Jefferson's points, and without his tip in, we would have lost.....
