AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- This time, the Utah Jazz put together a big rally and held on for the win. Al Jefferson scored 10 of his 20 points in the third quarter, and the Jazz beat the Detroit Pistons 90-87 on Saturday. A night after blowing a 15-point lead in a loss at Atlanta, Utah came back from a 15-point deficit to win. "This is a huge victory for us after what happened," coach Tyrone Corbin said. Detroits Brandon Knight, guarded closely by DeMarre Carroll, missed a 3-pointer in the final seconds that would have tied the game after the Pistons trailed by 13 with 3:26 left. Pistons coach Lawrence Frank was that a foul wasnt called on Knights last attempt, but didnt want to continue the conversation during his news conference. "Im not going to say anything about it," Frank said. And Corbin wasnt going to debate whether his team got a break from the officials. "They didnt call it," Corbin said. The Jazz made their own breaks when Jefferson helped them outscore Detroit 25-11 in the third quarter, powering them to their first lead. "In the third quarter, they hit us and we didnt fight back," Pistons forward Jason Maxiell said. Frank agreed, saying the Jazz took advantage of being more physical. "If youre not the instigator against them, youre going to have a hard time," he said. "You have to hit first." Utah put together a 17-3 run after Austin Dayes 3-pointer with 8:38 left gave the Pistons the lead for the last time. There was one comeback left, and it came up just short. Detroit outscored the Jazz 12-1 and had a shot to send the game into overtime, but Knight was very short on a contested shot after Daye couldnt create his own opportunity. "We made some mistakes at the end, but we just kept telling each other to finish this one," Utahs Randy Foye said. The Jazz (20-19) avoided falling under .500 and into a last-place tie with Minnesota in the Northwest Division. "This was great, but theres still a bitter taste because we know we should be going home with a 3-0 road trip," Jefferson said. "That one (Friday) night is going to bother us for a while." Detroit (14-24) had won seven of their last nine games. Knight had 16 points and Greg Monroe scored 12 for the Pistons, who got a late lift from reserve Will Bynum, who scored 13 points. "By the time we responded, we had to be perfect," Frank said. Utahs Paul Millsap and Foye each scored 17 and reserve Alec Burks had 12 points. The Pistons got off to a fast start, leading 11-2 early in the game and 26-13 after the first quarter. Knight and Monroe combined for 18 points in the opening period, but the Jazz prevented them from having much success on offence the rest of the game. Detroit had a 15-point lead in the second quarter and was ahead 50-39 at halftime. Foye capped a 15-2 run with a tying 3-pointer with 4:01 left in the third quarter. Jeffersons jumper a couple minutes later gave the Jazz their first lead of the game, and they went into the fourth quarter ahead 64-61. "This team has shown a lot of resilience this season," Corbin said. NOTES: Frank said he was called for a technical foul early in the fourth quarter for being on the court while his team was at the opposite end. He seemed stunned by the call by official Scott Wall, shouting: "Scott! Thats a gift! A gift!" Gordon Hayward made the ensuing free throw with 10:05 left in the game, giving the Jazz a 69-68 lead. ... Utahs Marvin Williams missed his third straight game with a right knee injury and is expected to be evaluated on Sunday. ... Detroits next game is Thursday in London against the New York Knicks. ... Jazz guard Jamaal Tinsley started and played six minutes, then didnt play the rest of the game because Corbin said he was sick.

The Detroit Lions 6-foot-5 wide receiver wont be able to do that against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle can match up cornerbacks Brandon Brower and Richard Sherman, both of whom are at least 6-3, with Johnson and can have 6-3 safety Kam Chancellor lurking nearby. "Thats like a junior college basketball team," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. "Theyve got some length and some size." While preparing for Seattle, Johnson said the tall defensive backs remind him of New York Jets 6-2 cornerback Antonio Cromartie "Its like theyve got a bunch of Cromarties," Johnson said. Even smaller defenders, though, have slowed down Johnson and that has led to Detroit (2-4) going into Sundays against Seattle (4-3) desperate for a win. Johnson has scored one touchdown -- on a pass from backup quarterback Shaun Hill -- after scoring 16 last season during one of the best seasons by a receiver in NFL history. "You cant get too caught up in what has happened," Johnson said. "You just have to keep pushing when adversity comes knocking because an NFL season is a 16-game grind." Seahawks coach Pete Carroll thinks his big cornerbacks have a shot to keep Johnson in check. "Well, were closer to him than everybody else is," Carroll said. "They only have to look up a little bit. Itll be interesting to see how our guys do. I can only imagine when the corners that are 5-10 or 5-11 are looking up at him." Days before the game in Detroit, Sherman changed his name on his Twitter account to "Optimus Prime," a Transformers character going into his matchup with Johnson, whose nickname is "Megatron." Sherman, who leads the NFL with 11 passes defended, insisted that covering Johnson is the same as facing Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith or Brandon Lloyd. "Aint no different to me, I dont care who is out there," Sherman said. "Its the league. There is going to be a good receiver out there every week." The Lions are down a good receiver for the rest of the year in Nate Burleson after he broke his right leg in Monday nights loss at Chicago. Theyre hoping second-year pro Titus Young, rookie Ryan&nbssp;Broyles and tight end Tony Scheffler do enough together to make up for the loss.dddddddddddd "I need to take advantage of every single opportunity Im given, especially when guys are focusing attention on Calvin and like we saw last week," Young said. "Guys are game-planning to shut down the best receiver in the NFL, and I guess Im the next guy up." Seattle will be without receiver Doug Baldwin, who has a high left ankle sprain and might be replaced by Charly Martin. The Seahawks, though, have one of the more promising young quarterbacks in the league. Russell Wilson, a third-round pick, leads his draft class of quarterbacks with four wins and is the first rookie QB since the merger to throw game-winning touchdown passes in the last two minutes of regulation or in overtime. He did it against New England and Green Bay. Wilson has completed nearly 60 per cent of his passes with eight TDs and seven interceptions and has run for 119 yards on 35 carries. "I feel very, very comfortable," Wilson said. Matthew Stafford, meanwhile, is not coming close to the production he had last season in his first full year as a starter. Stafford has thrown fewer TDs (five) than interceptions (six) after throwing 41 TDs and 16 interceptions last year. Stafford connected nine times with Johnson in the end zone during a 5-0 start that set the team up for its first playoff appearance since the 1999 season. Stafford acknowledged teams have done a good job of keeping Johnson out of the end zone with their blanketing coverages and fewer blitzes from a year ago. "We have to just hurt them in other ways," he said. "And guys have to step up and make plays, including myself." Detroit started the season with a quest to put the franchise in consecutive postseasons for the first time since the mid-1990s. The odds are stacked against the Lions right now, and they would get worse with another loss. Since 1978, 18 of 208 teams that started 2-4 since earned a spot in the playoffs, according to STATS LLC, and four of 156 teams that lost five of their first seven games rallied to make the post-season. "If we lose, we go down," Lions cornerback Chris Houston said. "If we win, we still got a chance." ' ' '
