move closer to clinching a playoff berth in the Eastern Conference by holding off the Utah Jazz 111-110 on Sunday.
Cam Johnson scored 18 points as the Nets won for the fourth time in their past five games, opening a two-game lead over Miami for the No. 6 seed and dipping their magic number to two to clinch the last guaranteed playoff spot in the East. "I love the competitiveness," Jazz coach Will Hardy said."I thought the guys dug in, stuck with it when they very easily could've folded at different times in the game."
Horton-Tucker scored 15 in the fourth and Utah outscored Brooklyn 42-26 in the quarter. The Jazz used a 26-8 run to cut Brooklyn's lead to one and had a chance to win after Seth Curry missed two free throws, but Kelly Olynyk's jumper at the buzzer went long. "You want to try to get the ball out of the hands of the guys that are designed to make plays," Dinwiddie said."You want the other guys beating you."
