Despite the fact the temperature was in the 30s, it was a hot one in Salt Lake City on Friday night. In dramatic fashion, the Utah Jazz were able to drop the Dallas Mavericks on national TV thanks to a last-second, game-winning triple from sharpshooter Rodney Hood.
The B-story to Hood’s heroics was the fact that they were made possible by an ill-advised shot from former Jazz star Deron Williams on the other end. Rather than hold for the last shot with the game tied, Williams elected to fire away with seven seconds left.
When the ball clanged off the iron, Hood had just enough time to storm down the court and seal the win.
