Jazz Deter Warriors in OT, 127-117

Posted May 10, 07 5:18 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – After an historic upset of top-seeded Dallas, Golden State has lost its first two games against Utah, the second in an overtime thriller in which it led with 2.9 seconds left in regulation. Blossoming point guard Deron Williams hit the tying basket and ended with 31 points, electrifying a Utah crowd dressed uniformly in powder-blue t-shirts.

The evening's hero may have been Utah guard Derek Fisher, who missed Game 1 and most of Game 2 attending to an undisclosed condition suffered by his daughter, only to administer key defense and long-range shooting late in the game. Utah star Carlos Boozer added 30 points and 13 boards.
