Jose Barea's two free throws had Dallas within 86-82 with 7:46 left, but Miles' bucket and Andrei Kirilenko's steal and subsequent three-point play started a 16-4 run. Williams capped the burst with a pair from the line for a commanding 102-86 lead with 2:27 to go.

The Mavs held a 26-24 edge after one quarter and it was tight throughout most of the second, but the Jazz finished the period on a 9-2 spurt for a 53-46 halftime lead.

Neither team held a commanding lead in the third and Jason Kidd's jumper had Dallas staring at a 77-76 deficit moving to the fourth.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds

Will he or won't he?  Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.

Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.

"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."

Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.

Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.

But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.

Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback.  It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
