Written on May 9, 2008 – 9:10 am | by bcourtney |

The Los Angeles Lakers lead the Utah Jazz 0-2 in the second round of the Western playoffs. The Utah Jazz are hoping that by playing at home they can come off and win Game 3. The Jazz host tonights game and they went 37-4 at home during the regular season. The Lakers were one of the four teams that beat them this year. Phil Jackson made a comment earlier this week that the EnergySolution Arena is one of the loudest places to play. He said that he had “amnesia” about the officials comment, but was still expectinf a more intense game. Coach Jerry Sloan said that it will not make a difference if they play at home or not they have to get back to playing sound offense. The Lakers have kept Carlos Boozer in foul trouble and his points per game have not been high. He is just 9-for-24 in this series. The Lakers can not afford to let this or any other game go. The Jazz have on of the best records playing at home and they could quickly tie this series up. Game 3 tonight.
