Despite leading by five points with 52.9 seconds remaining, Golden State finds itself trailing 2-0 in its best-of-seven series after Utah's 127-117 overtime win Wednesday night.

"It hurts," said Davis. "It hurts. I think everybody in here feels that hurt."

Davis scored 36 points and handed out seven assists for the Warriors, who missed three free throws in the final 16 seconds and watched their chance of stealing a win in Utah slip away during a mostly bungled overtime.

"That was it," Davis said. "That's why we lost the game. We didn't close it out at the free-throw line. . . . We've just got to close the game out."

Golden State owned a 112-109 lead when Mickael Pietrus, a 64-percent free-throw shooter this season, missed twice.

Then, with a 112-111 lead and 5.7 seconds left, Davis missed once. That allowed the Jazz to force overtime on Deron Williams' wide-open 12-footer.

"They're going to play a full 48" minutes, Davis said. "We got lackadaisical on our coverages, they were able to tie it up and - in overtime - they used that as momentum to carry them."

Jason Richardson missed two free throws with 7- minutes left in regulation, starting the Warriors' 6-for-11 finish from the line.

"We had the game," he said. "A play here, a play there. Maybe a free throw here, a stop there and we would have won the game. It hurts when you lose like this."

Pietrus sat glumly in front of his stall in the Warriors' hushed locker room - leaning forward, hands folded in front of him, staring at the floor.

He simply shook his head when approached by reporters.

In overtime, Golden State missed its first four shots. Another possession ended in a turnover and Utah opened a 118-113 lead. The Warriors, who dropped to just 1-4 on the road in the playoffs, never got closer than three in the final moments.

"We did a lot of the things that we wanted to do and did them well enough to win the game," said coach Don Nelson. "But unfortunately the lack of free-throw shooting beat us."

Golden State made only one of its seven field-goal attempts in overtime and finished shooting 42.2 percent in the game.

"It's our turn to go back home and see what we can do," said Davis. ". . . We just lost two games that we let get away. We're still confident."
