After the Golden State Warriors shocked the world and upset the Dallas Mavericks, nobody thought they could be stopped. With their quick and crafty guards, they were running up and down on teams night after night. However, the Utah Jazz would not have any part of this fairytale and so far they have shown the Warriors how to really play.

The Jazz took game one by storm and knocked the Warriors out with an early punch. Game two was crucial for the Warriors now, being down 1-0 in the series. During the entire regulation of the game, it was back and forth, nobody pulling ahead by far. In the fourth quarter with 15 seconds left, Baron Davis of the Warriors was at the foul line trying to give his team a three point lead. He knocked down the first, missed the second. Instead of a solid three point lead, the Warriors were left with an uncertain two point advantage. The Jazz were then able to get the ball, go down and court, and score before the time could expire which sent the game into overtime.

The Warriors thought they had the game in their hand but now they were looking at a tough period of overtime to settle this match. From the tip, the Jazz were in control. Williams, Utah Jazz guard, hit a three pointer, followed up by another three pointer from veteran guard Derek Fisher. Game two was over, 127-117.
