Jazz pay a visit to San Antonio

(Sports Network) - The Utah Jazz head south to the Alamo City in search of their third consecutive win Friday when they meet the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center.

C.J. Miles scored 25 points to lead Utah to a 105-94 comeback win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, as the Jazz won their 14th straight home game going back to last season.

Carlos Boozer had 20 points and 11 rebounds, but left the game in the fourth quarter with a strained left quad tendon. Ronnie Price and Andrei Kirilenko each had 16 points for the Jazz, who beat Milwaukee for the eighth straight time. Kirilenko also had seven rebounds, five steals and four blocks.

Ronnie Brewer ended with 12 points for the Jazz, winners of back-to-back games overall since a three-game skid. They are 33-1 at home since December 31, 2007 but now must find a way to find that type of success on the road as they embark on a quick two-game road trek.

Utah is just 2-4 away from EnergySolutions Arena this year.

An MRI conducted on Boozer's left leg Thursday confirmed that the star forward suffered a strain of the left quadriceps tendon. He will travel with the team, but is doubtful to play in San Antonio and against Memphis on Saturday.

In addition, Jazz center Jarron Collins (inflamed right elbow) is out for Friday night's game versus the Spurs, while Brevin Knight (strained left abductor muscle), Kyle Korver (inflamed right wrist) and Deron Williams (left ankle inversion sprain) will each be gametime decisions.

Matt Harpring (right ankle rehabilitation) and Mehmet Okur (lower back strain) are expected to play.

San Antonio will attempt to bounce back form a 91-81 defeat at the hands of Denver on Wednesday. Rookie George Hill scored 20 points for the Spurs, who saw their season-high three- game win streak come to an end.

Michael Finley gave 13 points, while Tim Duncan had 12 points and 11 boards for San Antonio, which continues to play without banged-up veterans Manu Ginobili (ankle) and Tony Parker (ankle).

Home cooking has meant a lot in this series. The host has won nine straight and 13 of the last 15 meetings. Utah has lost 21 in a row at San Antonio, including 18 in the regular season.
