The Utah Blaze averaged 62.7 points per game this season, and they scored at least 55 points in 16 of their 18 games. In fact, the Blaze have always been known for their offense and their porous defense. On Friday night though, it was the defense that stepped up and picked up the slack for an offense that was stumbling and bumbling all the way to the end in a 35-34 win at the Alamodome over the San Antonio Talons.
