The Detroit Pistons have been the best team in the Eastern Conference all season long. The Utah Jazz, however, have struggled out West. But on the day after Christmas, Utah looked to deliver one last gift to their fans.
The Jazz took down the Pistons 131-129, snapping a four-game losing streak in the process. They won thanks to Keyonte George, who not only scored 31 points but also nailed a clutch floater in the lane with just 2.1 seconds left to secure the win.
