Durant watch -- Another disappointing night for Durant. He only played 19 minutes because of foul trouble, and shot 3-of-11 from the field, finishing with six points.

“I just wasn’t in the game,” Durant said. “I sat out awhile in the first half. I don’t know how many minutes I played, but I know it wasn’t a lot. … I’ve just got to be a little more cautious on getting those fouls.”

Did you see that? -- Guarding Deron Williams at the top of the circle in the third quarter, Wally Szczerbiak got his ankles broken on the dribble drive and stumbled to the ground. Williams smiled and was so wide open he missed the easy 17-footer. Szczerbiak smiled as he got up off the floor and headed down court.

Overheard -- “Petro! Get in!” Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo screamed down at the bench after Chris Wilcox committed yet another turnover. Wilcox struggled, finishing 1-of-8 from the floor with eight points and a team-high four turnovers.

Final take -- The result is not too much of a surprise here. Particularly with Seattle center Kurt Thomas out with a sprained ankle. Thomas hurt his ankle against Minnesota but should be available on Wednesday against New Orleans at home.

Seattle actually had a 27-20 lead at the end of the first quarter before the self-destructed in the second and starting handing the ball to the Jazz and letting them run down the floor to score easy points.

Down 51-40 at halftime, Seattle let the Jazz go on a 9-2 run to open the third quarter. Carlesimo called a time out about three minutes into it and basically gathered everybody around to scream at them for a few minutes.

Seattle played better after that, but had no answer for the inside-out game of Carlos Boozer (21 points, 16 rebounds) and Deron Williams (18 points, 10 assists).

So Seattle finishes its road trip at 2-3 overall, which isn’t bad considering they started the trip 0-2. Now they travel home and host New Orleans on Wednesday. Seattle plays five or its next six games at home. It’s only road game will be at Portland on Christmas Day.

Szczerbiak says 3-2 would have been better. And Durant talks about his struggles to stay in the game.
