Jazz rally and hold on to beat Nets 92-90
The Utah Jazz fought all night for a chance to win the game, then nearly threw it away.
Utah turned it over on two inbounds passes in the final 31 seconds, having to sweat out a pair of misses on the Brooklyn Nets’ final possession to escape with a 92-90 victory on Tuesday night.
“Just two mistakes. That’s all I can say, just two bad mistakes we made,” center Al Jefferson said. “The game, we still pulled it out, that’s all that matters.”
Mo Williams scored 19 points, and Jefferson had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the Jazz, who improved to just 5-10 on the road. Derrick Favors added 13 points against his former franchise.
