Rumor has it that the Jazz’s pre-game shootaround will be the setting stage to unveil their new Northwest Division championship banner at the Energy Solutions Arena.

The ceremony can be delayed but their 124-97 victory over the Denver Nuggets certainly did not wait.

Deron Williams displayed true grit and determination in the game to win over the Nuggets who are vying with the Golden State for the Western Conference’s final playoff position.

“I was definitely worried about this game,” Williams said, “just because they had so much riding for them and we just came off a tough loss. It was interesting to see how we were going to react tonight and I thought we did a great job. We win by 20 to a team that’s fighting for their life trying to get into the playoffs, that’s just a great accomplishment.”

Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur and Ronnie Brewer cumulatively scored 20 points each while Deron Williams added 19 points as well as 11 assists.
