Utah pretty much acknowledges that tonight is a must-win for them, since an 0-3 deficit is an historic coffin for NBA playoff teams. The Jazz is hoping its home court advantage (37-4 regular season) will help. The Lakers Lamar Odom said it isn't just the familiarity and the well-documented noise in Energy Solutions Arena that gives the Jazz an edge here, it's the number of seats crammed on steep risers around the court.
"The crowd is right on top of you," said Odom. "It's like a high school gym."
