The situation: With 6.7 seconds remaining in the game and both teams tied at 96, Utah Jazz guard Mo Williams received the ball a-top the 3-point line. Williams was being defended one-on-one by San Antonio Spurs guard Danny Green. Green defended Williams as close as he could, but Williams was still able to get a 3-pointer off that swished through the net at the buzzer as the Jazz defeated the Spurs 99-96.
For the Spurs, Wednesday was a big night for Tim Duncan who posted 22 points, 21 rebounds, and six blocks. Even the win seemed like it was in reach as the Spurs held an eight point lead with four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, but four turnovers down the stretch lead to the Jazz closing the game out on a 14-3 run.
Here’s the rundown of the thriller in Utah that ended in defeat for the Spurs.
First Quarter: Spurs 28, Jazz 22
Shooting: Spurs 52%, Jazz 47%

The San Antonio Spurs have always been thought of as that grind-it-out team. That team that methodically breaks down defenses with its passing and low post play. Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili have long been able to slither their way through defenses and Duncan was just a point guard in a post's body with the way he could break down defenses with his post moves and the pass. ...
