SALT LAKE CITY - The Utah Jazz beats the Cleveland Cavaliers in Salt Lake City tonight. The final score was 106-99. Jazz player, Andrei Kirilenko, was key to their success with 21 blocks. "It's the most blocks I've ever had in a game," Kirilenko says.
Utah Jazz Head Coach Jerry Sloan says he "definately liked the way Kirilenko stepped up tonight". In reference to Lebron James, Cleveland Cavaliers Head Coach Mike Brown says, "Kirilenko really shut him down a couple of times. We didn't have enough chemistry out there to pull out a win."
Kirilenko says, "Coming back from the Lakers game where Kobe Bryant blocked my slam dunk really frustrated me. It stepped up my energy and I wanted to be the one blocking the shots."
"Oh I love it here with the Jazz. When it comes right down to it, this is my home; this is where I’m going to play the best," Kirilenko says.

Some spelling errors. Small AP style mistakes. But the story covers the bases. You start out with the score and work your way into some good quotes. the last paragraph could use a little bit more of a tie in. the quote is just kind of floating there. Good article.
Good story. I think this article was one of our harder articles to write and you did a good job with it.
Good use of quotes, you kept it interesting. Be careful with your spelling and grammar errors...such as in your first sentence when you say the Jazz "beats" the other team in SLC tonight. You mixed present and passed tense. Good work overall!
