NBA: Utah 96, Sacramento 93

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 28 (UPI) -- Utah's Gordon Hayward and C.J. Miles combined for 41 points Saturday and the Jazz hung on for a 96-93 victory over Sacramento.

The Jazz only secured the win after the Kings' Jimmer Fredette missed a 3-point try from deep on the right side that could have given Sacramento a one-point lead with 5 seconds left.
