SALT LAKE CITY, May 16 (AP) -- It's the middle of May and Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan still has some coaching to do.

His annual trek back to his farm in Illinois will have to wait because Sloan and the Jazz are back in the Western Conference finals for the first time in nearly a decade. Utah advanced by beating the Golden State Warriors 100-87 Tuesday to wrap up the series in five games and get a break before the next round.

The Jazz have survived a late-season slump that cost them homecourt advantage in the first round, won Game 7 on the road in Houston to advance and then beat the Warriors despite averaging 23 turnovers in the series.

Now all that's left is for Utah to see who they'll be facing, Phoenix or San Antonio.

I'll go out on the limb and say the Suns come back to win the final 2 games and advance, and I wish they would go back to their old uniforms:
