Jazz 90, Lakers 71: Raul Neto makes Jazz fans swoon!

There's really only so much anyone should take from a single game. And that "so much" is even smaller for a preseason game ... especially for the first one.

The game started out very ugly. Derrick Favors had some nice first-half moments, but that was about it.

But then, a dreamy Brazilian stepped on the court, and we all pledged our love to him forever.

There was one particular play that just killed me. Wolf dribbled in the back court, stumbled a bit, got pushed back by 2-3 defenders, and then rifled an entry pass to a reasonably defended Tibor Pleiß in the key, who was then fouled.
