Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Carlos Boozer scored 22 points and pulled down 20 rebounds, and the Utah Jazz advanced to the second round of the postseason by pulling away for a 112-104 Game 6 win over the Denver Nuggets to complete their Western Conference quarterfinal series at EnergySolutions Arena. Lions 44 Jersey . Foul trouble and injuries played a significant role in the series-clinching victory, a game in which rookie Wesley Matthews stepped up and scored 23 points for the Jazz, who shot 34-of-51 from the foul line. Deron Williams was held to 14 points and 10 assists, while Paul Millsap tallied 21 points and 11 rebounds off the bench in the victory. We had guys step up. I didnt shoot too well from the floor, didnt really want to shoot, and we had guys step up, Williams said. [Boozer] had a monster night, hes been great all series long. Utah will next face the defending NBA champion Lakers, who closed out their first-round series against Oklahoma City with a thrilling 95-94 Game 6 win on Friday. The series, which is the third between the teams in as many years, will start on Sunday afternoon. Chauncey Billups scored 30 points and handed out eight assists for the Nuggets, but had his streak of seven straight conference finals appearances snapped with the early exit. I knew we were going to have a tough time covering their halfcourt offense because its so thorough, Billups said. I also knew that we should be able to run on them. We were able to run on them every time we played them during the season. Unfortunately, the thing I didnt anticipate is us being in foul trouble so much because it stops your run. Carmelo Anthony ended with 20 points on 6-of-22 shooting to go with 12 rebounds for Denver, which was without starting center Nene (knee), but got 21 surprising points from Joey Graham to stay close. Nonetheless, Denver made a first-round exit for the sixth time in seven years. The Northwest Division champions staved off elimination with a 116-102 win on Wednesday and kept it a one-possession game for the opening 5 1/2 minutes of the final stanza on Friday. An Anthony bucket tied things at 95-all prior to a game-altering 11-0 Jazz spurt, which Millsap started with a three-point play near the midway point. The final nine points in the stretch came from the charity stripe, as Denver was called for two technical fouls in the two-minute span. A pair of Matthews makes at the line made it 106-95 with under 4:23 to play, and Ronnie Prices reverse layup answered a Billups make for a double-digit game again. After exchanging free throws, Billups and Anthony missed three-point tries on Denvers next two possessions. Graham hit a layup with 1:47 left to cut the deficit to 109-100 and forced a quick turnover. However, Billups missed a layup in transition and Millsap grabbed the rebound with 1:28 left. Denver was forced to foul the rest of the way, and the Jazz were more than willing to seal the win and the series at the foul line. Im terribly excited about the way these guys played, the effort they put in to win a ball game, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. We started off this series and were in tough position because we lost two guys (Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko) who couldnt play. But the guys came in and played in their place and I thought did a terrific job. Utah was on top 32-23 after 12 minutes and increased the margin to 50-35 on a Kyle Korver jumper just past the midway point of the second. Nuggets interim head coach Adrian Dantley was whistled for a technical foul shortly thereafter for arguing an offensive foul called on Anthony. Korver hit the freebie for a 53-39 scored with 4:13 left in the half, but the events apparently sparked the Nuggets, who scored the next 13 points. Graham, who did not play more than three minutes in any of the previous games in the series, netted the final 11 in the flurry, the final points coming off a putback of his own miss to cut the deficit to 53-52 in the final minute. Joey (Graham) came in and was a good wild card for us. He gave us a lift and kept us in the game, Dantley said. The foul-filled first half ended with Utah clinging to a 56-54 edge. Denver built on the momentum by scoring the first 10 points out of the locker room, the last six coming off consecutive Billups three-pointers for a 64-56 advantage. The Jazz answered with a 13-3 spurt to take the lead back, 69-67, on Boozers deep jumper near the midway point. It was back-and-forth from there, with Kosta Koufos putback just before the buzzer giving the Jazz a 83-80 lead. GAME NOTES:The Nuggets ended a streak of five consecutive first-round exits last season by reaching the conference finals. They are now 0-10 when trying to erase a 3-1 deficit to win a seven-game playoff series...Williams had recorded at least 20 points and 10 assists in each of the first five games of a playoff set, the first NBA player to accomplish such a feat...Utah has won three of four playoff series all-time against Denver...Price had 12 points for the Jazz, who shot 52.2 percent from the field...J.R.Smith ended with just three points for the Nuggets, who made 27-of-40 from the foul line...The Nuggets turned 19 Jazz turnovers into 32 points...Okur (Achilles) is out for the entire postseason, but Kirilenko, rehabbing a calf injury, may return against the Lakers.

NEWARK, états-Unis - Ilya Kovalchuk a rejoint ses nouveaux coéquipiers des Devils du New Jersey vendredi, essayant tant bien que mal de tourner la page sur un été plein de rebondissements entourant la signature de son contrat. Kovalchuk a voulu prendre ses distances devant la lourde pénalité que la LNH a imposé aux Devils après avoir annulé son contrat original de 102 millions $ US pour une période de 17 ans — soit une amende de 3 millions $ et les pertes dun choix de troisième ronde dès cette année et de première ronde au cours de lune ou lautre des quatre prochaines. ?Cest toujours dommage quand ton équipe est sous le coup dune pénalité, a mentionné Kovalchuk. Mais cest une question qui relève du directeur général et de la ligue.? Questionné à savoir si la pénalité de la LNH était juste, Kovalchuk a répliqué, ?Non, mais cest une réalité.? Mais la réalité des joueurs à ses c?tés lors du premier entra?nement de léquipe, samedi, sera très différente. Son nouveau contrat remanié de 100 millions $ pour 15 ans a contribué au fait que les Devils outrepassent de 3 milllions $ le plafond salarial de la ligue. Patriots Gronkowski Jersey. Certains des joueurs des Devils seront soit rétrogradés ou échangés pour respecter le plafond. Alors que les joueurs se sont présentés pour les examens médicaux et une séance de photos, les Devils espèrent de tout coeur que Kovalchuk égalera au moins sa production moyenne de 42,25 buts à ses huit premières saisons dans la LNH. Kovalchuk, qui a partagé son temps cet été entre Miami et Moscou, jure quil a été bien accueilli par ses nouveaux coéquipiers. Jamie Langenbrunner a toutefois convenu quun sentiment dinquiétude pourrait planer sur léquipe pendant le camp dentra?nement. Langenbrunner, par exemple, possède une clause de non-échange, mais le capitaine, avec son contrat de 2,8 millions $, pourrait théoriquement être rétrogradé dans la LAH. Cest la même chose pour Danius Zubrus et son contrat de 3,2 millions $ ou pour Colin White, dont le salaire est de 3 millions $. ?Nous devons respecter le plafond et je pense que cette réalité constitue une inquiétude pour quelques joueurs, a dit Langenbrunner. Nous sommes tous vulnérables.? ' ' '
