Why does Dwight Howard want to leave Orlando?

Jazz 96, Kings 93

Posted January 28, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Gordon Hayward,  C.J. Miles,  Jimmer Fredette,  Tyreke Evans,  Isaiah Thomas,  Devin Harris
TEAMS: Utah Jazz,  Sacramento Kings

Gordon Hayward scored a season-high 21 points and C.J. Miles added 20 as the Utah Jazz snapped a two-game losing streak, defeating Sacramento 96-93 and spoiling Jimmer Fredette's return to the state where ''Jimmermania'' took hold. Fredette had a chance to give the Kings the win with 4.2 seconds left, but launched an air-ball 3-pointer. Hayward's free throw sealed it for Utah (11-7). Tyreke Evans led Sacramento (6-14) with 31 points on 12-of-20 shooting. Fredette, a former Brigham Young star and last year's national player of the year, finished with 14 points and 3 of 5 from beyond the arc. But he was just 5 of 13 overall. The Kings were down 13 points in the fourth quarter, but Evans and Isaiah Thomas brought them back. Evans' 5-footer with 30 seconds left pulled Sacramento within 95-93, and Devin Harris missed a free throw, setting the stage for Fredette. He missed.
