Utah Rallies to Defeat Golden State, 103-100
Pace Mannion scored all of his nine points in the final period and Mark Eaton scored five of his eight in the last three minutes to spark the Utah Jazz to a come-from-behind 103-100 National Basketball Assn. victory over the Golden State Warriors Monday night.
Utah (12-8) trailed by as many as 14 points in the second half. But the Jazz, playing without Rickey Green and scoring leader Adrian Dantley, received a superb effort from Mannion, Eaton, John Stockton, Jeff Wilkins and Bobby Hansen.
Utah took its first lead since early in the game with 4:30 remaining, 95-94, on a Stockton drive after a Mannion steal.
Golden State (8-12) grabbed the lead again on a Purvis Short basket, but Eaton tied the score at 100 on a tip-in.
The Warriors didn’t score again, while Eaton hit a basket and Mannion added a free throw to complete the scoring.
Rookie Karl Malone led Utah with 17 points. Thurl Bailey and Wilkins added 16 each. Stockton had 14 points and 17 assists.
