Andrei Kirilenko seemed to alter the course of the game on Wednesday when he blocked three Kobe Bryant shots in a span of 37 seconds.

Bryant came out sizzling, making seven of his first eight shots in the first quarter, before Kirilenko doused the Lakers star's hot hand with that defensive outburst.

But while the sellout crowd was thrilled, rewarding Kirilenko with standing ovations, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan wasn't all that impressed.
