Golden State 90, Dallas 73: Anthony Morrow's 27 points led all scorers. Lottery pick Anthony Randolph scored 20 points, grabbed six rebounds and handed out five assists, while Jamont Gordon scored 20 points. Gerald Green led the Mavericks with 17 points.
Utah 87, New Jersey 79: Morris Almond scored a game-high 24 points, while Tyrone Brazelton came off the bench to add 16. Former Utah State star Jaycee Carroll scored 22 points to lead the Nets.
TYRONE BRAZELTON, Utah
Even though he didn't play in the first half Tuesday, Brazelton proved to be the difference maker in the Jazz's 87-79 victory over New Jersey. The 6-foot point guard out of Western Kentucky scored 16 points in 17 minutes, including 12 points in the fourth quarter. Brazelton slashed for baskets, pushed the ball for layups and knocked down a jumper off an inbounds play with 28.8 seconds left. "I'm a smaller guy, so I've got to put pressure on the defense," Brazelton said. "That's my game. Definitely, attack, attack, attack."
BROOK LOPEZ, N.J.
Horrible. That's one word to describe Lopez's play in two games at the Revue. Against the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night, Lopez scored four points on 2 of 11 shooting from the field. He did grab 11 rebounds, but he's had trouble finishing in traffic, he's also been slow, mechanical with his moves in the post and has had trouble catching passes. It's still early, but he's hardly looked as if he was worth a lottery pick. Maybe his slide on draft night was for a reason.
When a fan referred to Kevin Lyde on Monday, he used the term "old school." Maybe it doesn't really fit, but Lyde and Britton Johnsen are the two oldest guys on the Utah Jazz summer league roster. Lyde played for Temple in the late 1990s, when he made a name for himself as one of the biggest bruisers on some of John Chaney's best teams. He made it all the way to the final cut for the Jazz last season, and he's been toiling in basketball's minor leagues for the better part of a decade. He's not a scorer, but he'll rebound for you and ring your bell if you happen to be on the receiving end on one of his bone-crunching picks.
