OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Utah's Gordon Hayward hit a free throw in the closing seconds Saturday and the Jazz eked out a 88-87 decision over Golden State.
Hayward connected on 1-of-2 foul shots with 11 seconds left. His trip to the line came after Monta Ellis committed a crucial turnover and was enough to gain Utah its fourth straight win.
