Al Jefferson has off-night against Spurs

"Hot topic of the evening: poor Jazz rebounding.

Yet when asked about his disenchantment over San Antonio's 46-31 edge in that particular statistical category during the Spurs win over Utah on Friday, Al Jefferson didn't limit himself to mere matters of the boards.

"The whole game was disappointing for me," Jefferson said.

On a night San Antonio big man Tim Duncan finished with a 19-point, 14-rebound double-double and became the all-time leading scorer in Spurs NBA history, Jefferson — who's had his share of successful outings against Duncan in the past — felt like nothing went right.

He did hit 4-for-7 from the field, but finished with just 10 points — his lowest offensive output since scoring only two and getting benched down the stretch of Utah's overtime win at Miami six games prior.

He collected just six rebounds, this from someone who averaged 9.3 in Minnesota last season and at least 11.0 in each of the three seasons before that. And he played an otherwise mostly uneventful 29 minutes, making no steals with no blocks."
