Jason Terry (#31) buys a headfake from Deron Williams (#8) during the Dallas Mavericks' 6-point victory against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.
Former Illinois point guard Deron Williams had a better individual performance compared to the last time the Utah Jazz played the Dallas Mavericks, but the team results were the same on Saturday night.
The red-hot Mavs led by 25 points in the first half and held on late following a furious Jazz comeback in the second half to win its league-best 12th straight game.
Here’s a look at Williams’ night.
● Utah Jazz Point Guard Deron Williams (2002-2005)
The Jazz fell to 17-8 with the 103-97 loss to the Dallas Mavericks, which improved to 19-4, which is tied with Boston for the second-best record in the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs are 19-3.
Williams: (-10)
34 points (12-22 shooting, 2-4 from three, 8-9 from free throw line), 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 turnover, 2 steals and 4 fouls in 40:35.
Former Illini Luther Head was also in action on Saturday night.
● Sacramento Kings Guard Luther Head (2001-2005)
Head played just 20 seconds last night as the Sacramento Kings fell to 5-16 following a 104-83 loss to the Miami Heat, which won its 8th straight game to improve to 17-8.
Head: (0)
No statistics in 0:20 of game time.
Alright.
Until next time.
