Can Jazz find energy and solution to beat Spurs once series shifts to EnergySolutions Arena Game 3?

For the Utah Jazz, EnergySolutions Arena has lived up to its namesake.

It is at the EnergySolutions Arena where the Utah Jazz bounced back from a 0-2 deficit against a team from Texas, the Houston Rockets, during the opening rounds of the 2007 NBA Playoffs.

A month later, the Jazz again find themselves in a similar situation, down 0-2 to yet another team from Texas, the San Antonio Spurs. And yep, they're counting on the EnergySolutions Arena to give them the ENERGY and SOLUTION to beat the powerhouse team from San Antonio and get back to this seven-game NBA Western Conference Finals series.

The Utah Jazz are right where they were a month ago, making everybody wonder just how much longer they could last in the 2007 NBA Playoffs.

As of April 24, they had lost two games to the Houston Rockets by a grand total of 17 points, appearing overwhelmed at times and failing to perform in critical stretches of the game. However, things changed when that series moved to EnergySolutions Arena, and the Jazz hasn't looked back since.

After losing by eight and nine points to San Antonio in the NBA Western Conference finals, they just need to rely on the same energy and solutions they used against the Houston Rockets.

The problem? They're no longer playing the Houston Rockets.

''It is a lot worse to be down 2-0 to the Spurs than it is to the Rockets, because they are a better team; defensively, offensively,'' Utah Jazz point guard Deron Williams said.

Jeff Van Gundy is cursing under his breath somewhere.

Can the Utah Jazz win Game 3 and cut the lead of the San Antonio Spurs in this seven-game Western Conference Finals series to 2-1? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Detroit Pistons 2/1

Cleveland Cavaliers 12/1

Utah Jazz 9/1

San Antonio Spurs 5/8 (boo!)
