 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Paul Millsap sparked the Utah Jazz with his usual hustle, then sealed a victory from the most unlikely place. With the shot clock about to expire and the Jazz holding a four-point lead, Utah's rookie forward didn't have a choice when Andrei Kirilenko dumped him the ball at the top of the key. The 26-foot shot was about 21 feet outside Millsap's usual range, but it went in and clinched the Jazz's 104-100 win over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
"I thought A.K. was going to shoot it," Millsap said of his first career 3-pointer. "It got in my hands, it was like a hot potato, so I got it up and it went in."
It was that kind of second half for the Jazz, who fell behind by 15 in the second quarter, but woke up defensively in the second half and ended their four-game losing streak.
