Wheelin' Jazz win Game Two of Desert Classic

January 3, 2009

The #6 Utah Wheelin' Jazz defeated the #7 LA Fast Breakin' Lakers 66-47 to remain undefeated in the 2009 Desert Classic in Las Vegas, NV. The win sets up a meeting later in the evening with the #17 Rancho Renegades needing a win to advance to the Championship game on Sunday.

The Wheelin' Jazz used a balanced attack and stingy defense to jump out to an 11 point halftime lead. Midway through the first half, the Wheelin' Jazz went on a 24-5 run after trailing by as many as 8 early in the game.

The Wheelin' Jazz were able to frustrate Lakers stars Dan Altan and Willie Ariaga keeping them in check for the entire game. Ariaga scored 21 points in a losing effort. The Wheelin' Jazz were led again by Jeff Griffin with 24 points followed by Rod Nieman's 21.

Next on the schedule, the Wheelin' Jazz will play the #17 Rancho Renegades. The Wheelin' Jazz can clinch a spot in the Championship Game on Sunday with a win.
