NEW YORK ? Decision time looms for the Jazz.
     Thanks in large part to former Chicago Bulls point guard Rusty LaRue, it won't be easy.

     LaRue made another bold statement Tuesday night in his bid to stick, scoring 14 of his team-high 16 points in the fourth quarter of Utah's 76-72 preseason loss at New York.
     The performance should make it tough for Jazz brass who, sometime before their regular-season opener against Milwaukee next Tuesday, must decide what excess they will trim from a roster of 15 with room for only 12 or perhaps 13.
     "It's not a clear-cut decision as to what we're going to do with any of these guys," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said as he was peppered at Madison Square Garden with questions about the legitimacy of LaRue's chances.
