"Home sweet home?
It didn't do the Jazz much good on Thursday night, but it certainly helped Andrei Kirilenko.
After struggling in Utah's season opener at Denver, Kirilenko got things together in the Jazz's 110-94 loss to Phoenix at EnergySolutions Arena.
Kirilenko finished with 19 points, including 15 in the second half, and four assists.
The Jazz's veteran forward had a much bigger impact against the Suns than he did in Denver, where in 19 minutes he finished with two points, three rebounds and three assists.
Beyond those numbers, Kirilenko was 0-for-4 from the field and committed four turnovers, or one every 4.8 minutes.
In the locker room before the loss to Phoenix, Kirilenko shook his head when asked about his frustrating game against the Nuggets.
"It's not a game we want to talk about," he said, smiling slightly. "Those games you want to forget as fast as possible."
