Besides being upset with themselves for their Game 3 playoff loss to Sacramento, the Jazz didn't seem real thrilled with the refs Saturday.
     
"As an athlete," Karl Malone said, practicing a well-rehearsed line, "all you want to do is control what happens . . . When that doesn't happen, it's frustrating."
     
Malone insisted he wasn't talking about the officiating crew of David Jones, Eddie F. Rush and Greg Willard, saying "I don't bring those guys."
     
Teammates Bryon Russell and Greg Ostertag, however, weren't quite so cryptic.
     
"It changed the game," Russell said.
