MANILA, Philippines — John Collins slammed in a game-winning dunk with only six seconds remaining as the Utah Jazz handed a fourth straight loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.
The Mavericks, beaten by one score in their previous games, once again suffered an agonizing near-miss as Utah snatched a 115-113 victory.
Collins led Utah’s scorers with 28 points – 13 of them coming in a third quarter rally that saw the Jazz outscore Dallas 38-21 to lead by as much as 16 at one stage. But the Mavericks roared back into contention with a dominant fourth quarter.
