Barkley’s Prediction Rings True
In a game where the Houston Rockets competed against the Utah Jazz, Charles Barkley’s pre-game analysis on TNT rang true when he stated that the Jazz would defeat the visiting Rockets by double digits. Kenny “The Jet” Smith disagreed adamantly with him saying that Houston wouldn’t lose anymore games by 10 or more. So the Round Mound of Rebound gets props as the Utah Jazz team played extremely well defeating the Rockets by 13 points with the final score ending at 99-86.
The top scorers for the Jazz were Deron Williams with 19 points and Ronnie Brewer with 17 points. The high man off the bench was Paul Millsap with 15 points on 6 for 12 field goal shooting. Utah really handled the ball well committing only 8 turnovers the entire game. There season long record is now 44 wins and 26 losses.
