#6. 12/6 Utah vs. Phoenix

To be quite honest, this wasn’t exactly the best game for the Jazz given that they led by as many as 23, but suffered a second half collapse which allowed the Suns to get right back in the game and tie it in the fourth.

But the game’s finish is what made the whole thing worth it.

Late in the game, the Jazz benefited from a Joe Johnson steal which led to a Hayward dunk to take the lead. Then in the waning seconds of the game, Shelvin Mack threw up a pretty lob to Rudy Gobert which he threw down as a reverse alley-oop to seal the deal.

It was a thrilling 112-105 finish which ultimately made up for Utah’s previously blown lead.
