GAME RECAP

MVP

Al Jefferson, Utah

Big Al didn't tie a career scoring night like he did with Friday's 40-point game against the Wolves in Salt Lake City, but his 22 points and eight rebounds were plenty to lead the Jazz to victory again.

By The Numbers

20-21 Wolves' final home record this season. A victory Monday would have given them their first winning home season since 2005-06.

1 Games by which the Jazz now trail the Los Angeles Lakers for the West's eighth and final playoff spot. The Jazz must win in Memphis on Wednesday and the Lakers must lose at home to Houston for Utah to reach the playoffs.
