Jerry Sloan was annoyed when the Utah Jazz blew a huge lead Saturday and had to come from behind to win a game they had all but clinched. When the Jazz did the same thing in a 112-104 win over the New York Knicks on Monday night, the Utah coach went from irked to concerned. Utah led by 24 early in the fourth quarter, but for the second game in a row watched a big lead slowly erode into a deficit. Deron Williams had 24 points and 13 assists and Carlos Boozer added 21 points and 11 rebounds for the Jazz, who are becoming consistent in some very bad ways. Utah led Phoenix by 21 on Saturday, then needed to rally to beat the Suns in overtime.
