"The Utah Jazz came oh-so-close to pulling off one of their crazier comeback victories of the season.

But an unfathomable last-second rally and a chance at overtime slipped away from the Jazz at the buzzer when the basketball squirted out of Andrei Kirilenko's hands after he made a crafty steal with 1.2 seconds remaining with Utah down two.

Even so, Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin believes his struggling but improving squad — a team that has lost seven straight at home and 17 of 22 overall — can take a big lesson out of their disappointing 103-101 defeat to the Denver Nuggets."
