Utah fell to the Houston Rockets 101-100 last for their 8th consecutive loss in the effort to improve their lottery odds (they now tie the Nets for 8th place!). But who has done the heavy lifting for the Utah Jazz down the stretch? That would be their starting center, John Collins. In 30 minutes yesterday, the 7-year vet put up 30 points and 11 rebounds — even managing to sink 4/5 shots from beyond the arc.
That wasn’t just a moment of luck either. In the last 6 games, Collins has managed to record 20.
