The Wild West playoff first round battle ended with victories for the Jazz, Supersonics, and Spurs.
The overextended Suns in the regular season lamentably lost to the Jazz in the Game 7 showdown at home.
Kirilenko and Boozer's spectacular play helped the Jazz clinch this heart-pounding shootout on the road.
Throughout the game, the original Russian "AK47" racked up 19 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, and 5 blocks.
In the game, Boozer, frequently matched up against Stoudemire through pick-and-rolls, made 16 of 24 shots, hit all 6 free throws, and scored 38 points, with 12 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Suns' unexpected first-round playoff exit objectively reflected how wise the Warriors were in formulating their "prioritization" strategy before the regular season began.
Perhaps, going all in every night could help the Warriors win more games in the regular season...
But come playoff time, the Warriors would inevitably become as drained as the Suns were this year.
