SALT LAKE CITY (REUTERS) - Rudy Gobert scored 22 points, collected 17 rebounds and blocked five shots to rally the Utah Jazz for a 112-107 victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday (Jan 25) in Salt Lake City.
Donovan Mitchell scored a team-high 25 points for Utah, while Bojan Bogdanovic added 23 points. Utah won their fourth straight game and are 19-2 over their last 21 games.
Luka Doncic scored 25 points to lead Dallas. Seth Curry added 19 points and Kristaps Porzingis added 15 for the Mavericks, who are 1-2 in their last three after winning four straight.
After trailing for nearly the entire third quarter and much of the fourth, the Jazz took a 106-104 lead with 1min 2sec left behind back-to-back baskets from Mitchell and Gobert.
Tim Hardaway then buried a three-pointer to put the Mavericks back in front with 52.2 seconds left. But Utah took the lead for good when Royce O'Neale drained a three-pointer on the other end to put the Jazz up 109-107 with 38.5 seconds remaining.
Gobert blocked a potential tying layup from Delon Wright with 24.8 seconds left. Mitchell and Gobert each made free throws in the final seconds to seal the victory.
Dallas jumped out to an 18-8 lead in the first quarter when Porzingis and Curry capped an 11-3 run with back-to-back three-pointers. The Mavericks held onto that double-digit cushion heading into the second quarter after shooting 56 per cent from the field - including 6 of 11 from three-point range - in the first quarter. They also did a good job of taking care of the ball. Dallas committed zero turnovers in the quarter.
The Jazz erased the deficit after scoring 12 straight points to open the second quarter. Georges Niang bookended the 12-0 run with a pair of three-pointers. His second one gave Utah their first lead at 37-36.
Wright scored baskets on three straight possessions to put the Mavericks back ahead. Dallas eventually built up a double-digit lead again before half-time, going up 53-43 on another three-pointer from Curry before the Jazz cut their deficit to 58-55 by half-time.

How increasing Boko Haram attacks on highways can cut Borno off from Nigeria – Reports from sadiq marshall

Fear is now mounting that Borno State may soon be totally cut off from the rest of Nigeria as Boko Haram insurgents in the past few weeks have launched daily  attacks  on the Kano-Maiduguri highway, the only remaining safe route to the state. Six highways link Maiduguri, the state capital, with other parts of Nigeria. But for the past six years, only the Kano-Maiduguri highway that connects the state with Damaturu, the Yobe State capital, remains in use. Between 2013 and late 2014, the insurgents bombed major bridges on four of the highways, rendering the roads inaccessible. They also seized many communities along the highways. Today, to travel from Maiduguri to Biu, about 180 kilometres in the southern part of the state, commuters now go through Yobe, Bauchi and Gombe states, covering a distance of about 560km. People travelling to Gwoza, a town 127km south of Maiduguri, also have to make even a longer detour through Adamawa State. It is even worse for communities in norther...
