SALT LAKE CITY -- There are times when Alec Burks is driving to the hoop and he has no idea what hes going to do. "I surprise myself on some of these shots I make," Utahs reserve guard said. The Jazz breathed a collective sigh of relief when Burks put together a string of circus shots after the rest of the team had gone cold. Burks scored 10 of his 26 points in the final two minutes to lift the Jazz to a 105-100 win over the skidding Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night. "Alec did a great job closing the game out for us, attacking the basket," said Utah coach Ty Corbin after the Jazz endured a six-minute scoreless stretch with seven missed shots and two turnovers. The game was tied 91-1ll when the Jazz looked to Burks to create some offence. The guard made a number of acrobatic drives to the basket and capped a personal 9-0 run with a soaring dunk to make it 100-91 with 22 seconds to play. Utahs top scorer off the bench got to the free throw line with his aggressive play, making 13 of 14 from the stripe in 22 minutes of play. "I relish contact. I really was just trying to be aggressive," Burks said. "Thats my game, going to the hoop." His clutch scoring extended Utahs season-best winning streak to three and sent the Sixers to their ninth straight road loss to the Jazz. Evan Turner scored 21 points and Michael Carter-Williams and Thaddeus Young had 19 apiece for Philadelphia. The 76ers lost their eighth straight, the last two by more than 40 points while nearly matching the NBA mark for the largest total margin of defeat in consecutive games. Philadelphia has given up nearly 116 points per game over the eight-game skid. Gordon Hayward scored 17 and Marvin Williams had 13 points and a season-high 14 rebounds as the Jazz had six players score in double figures. The problem was that no one could find the hoop in the middle of the fourth quarter when they surrendered a 14-point lead. Burks hit a 3-pointer and Richard Jefferson stole a pass and dunked for an 85-71 lead with 10:02 to play. The 76ers then rallied, extending their defence and holding the Jazz scoreless for more than six minutes during a 13-0 run. Spencer Hawes tipped in his own miss to cap the run and then Carter-Williams converted a three-point play after Trey Burke broke Utahs drought to tie the game at 91 with 2:10 to play. Burks had 24 to lead the Jazz over the Lakers in Los Angeles on Tuesday and then continued his instant offence in the second half the back-to-back set. Utahs reserves outscored their Philadelphia counterparts, 56-10. James Anderson, who had 15 points, made a trio of 3-pointers in the final 18 seconds, but it was too late after Burks outburst. The Sixers showed some fight in their last game before the All-Star break and the finale of a disastrous three-game road trip. Following a 123-78 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, the 76ers fell behind by 49 points before losing 123-80 to Golden State on Monday No other team in NBA history had lost two straight games by at least 40 points each. Philadelphia has now done it twice, having lost back-to-back games in April 1994 by a combined 93 points. The Detroit Pistons set the record for margin of defeat in consecutive games, losing 95 points combined in back-to-back games in November 1966, according to STATS. One highlight for Philadelphia has been the play of rookie Carter-Williams, who had eight assists and leads all rookies in scoring, rebounding and assists. This was the first game between Carter-Williams, who was drafted 11th, and fellow lottery pick Burke (picked ninth) since their Final Four meeting in April. Burke struggled again Wednesday as he did in Michigans 61-56 win over Syracuse, when he had seven points on 1-of-8 shooting. Burke had seven points on 3-of-12 shooting against Philadelphia. "I thought Michael played with great poise. He could have handled this particular matchup in different ways. I thought he grew tonight," Sixers coach Brett Brown said. Derrick Favours left the game in the first quarter after re-injuring his right hip. He missed a wide-open layup on the first Jazz possession of the game and never got any lift. In six minutes of play, he limped slightly and then left the game and went to the locker room. The Jazz centre has missed four other games with the hip strain and Utah had lost all six contests when Favours is out with injury. NOTES: Brandon Davies, who was raised in Utah and played at BYU, has missed the Sixers last 14 games with a fractured pinkie finger. ... In the third quarter, the Sixers purposely fouled Rudy Gobert, who shoots 51 per cent from the line, but the 7-footer swished both attempts. ...

Adam Bate caught up with him to find out more… For some in football, turning 30 is a time to begin contemplating what might happen once the playing career is over. For Cardiffs Kevin Nicholson the milestone has a very different significance - hes already achieved the games gold standard coaching qualification.In May, the Bluebirds Under-21 boss completed the UEFA Pro Licence and is currently the youngest Englishman holding the qualification. The achievement marks the end of one particular journey but Nicholson is hoping these are just the early steps along a pathway that will take him to the top of the profession. My main ambition is to become the best coach I can be, he tells Sky Sports. I see myself as a coach who can work with players of all abilities and at all levels, so the goal is to coach at the highest level. All you can do is try to improve, gain credibility and improve your reputation. The goal is to coach at the highest level. Kevin Nicholson The Pro Licence certainly helps in that regard, particularly for someone whose own hopes of a professional career suffered a blow at an early age when released by Derby. But Nicholson has managed to turn that negative into a positive by becoming a coach as early as possible.Ive found it an advantage really, coming through at a young age, he says. I was a player at youth level and didnt quite make the grade as a professional. So I took the time to develop myself as a coach, get the qualifications and pick up valuable experience.Ive managed to do all that in the time when a professional player would still be playing the game. So I think for a young coach its a chance to get ahead and thats essential when youre competing against ex-players.But I think the most important thing with the qualifications is the knowledge that you gain and the experiences you get. Whether its the seminars or the sessions, youre taking stuff on board from some of the best coaches in the game. Sean Dyche, one of five top-flight English bosses, gave a talk to coaches As part of the inaugural intake for the FA Elite badge in 2013, Nicholson had the chance to engage with the likes of former Manchester United coach Rene Meulensteen and Premier League manager Sean Dyche. For the Pro Licence, ex-QPR boss Chris Ramsey gave a talk.But having been at Derby and Exeter prior to being headhunted by Cardiff in the summer of 2013, Nicholson is used to working alongside men of experience. You cant fail to take something from everyone you work with, he adds. All the managers have influenced me.Nigel Clough was a great influence when I was at Derby and I was there throughout his time at the club. From there I moved to Exeter and had a great opportunity to work with Paul Tisdale. He was a big inspirattion for me.dddddddddddd Youre only going to learn from these people.Even so, the move to Cardiff was a step up, particularly when Nicholson took on the role of first-team coach for a period in the 2014/15 season. Having begun by coaching an Under-11 side in the academy at Stoke, he found himself in charge of senior international players. He was a big inspiration for me. Kevin Nicholson on Exeter manager Paul Tisdale So whats it like when the players are older than the coach? A great challenge, he admits. The first thing you have to do is gain the respect of some big names and talented players. The way I try to do it is through my coaching and getting feedback on my sessions.Whats particularly striking about Nicholson is his attention to detail. Open to the possibility of a career in management, he has already examined all the aspects of the job that a prospective boss must master in the modern game.On the Pro Licence, we all had to deliver a final presentation on a study topic of our choice, he says. I focused on the first 90 days in management looking at how a manager should approach that time in order to make an impact and get the results that you need.You only have to look at the facts regarding how long managers last. That period is crucial and how you approach that can ultimately decide whether youre successful or not. Issues such as media relationships and managing upwards are now vital considerations. Life in Guam Fellow member of the inaugural FA Elite badge intake Gary White discusses his career abroad. I spoke to several very high profile managers when I was doing my study and most of them spoke about the importance of working well with the media, he adds. Its a big factor. They can play an important part in getting your message across.Its also noticeable that more clubs are looking to that continental-style structure now because there are just so many facets to the job. This allows the coach to coach and have someone else who is that link to the owner. Its a big job to manage an entire football club.Perhaps the big question is whether or not its a job that will ever come his way. While discussing the challenges facing young British players in his role as an Under-21 boss, Nicholson makes the point that talent needs opportunity but its equally true of coaches.Enjoying life at Cardiff, for now all that he can do is keep up the good work. If you do that you have to hope that the opportunities will arise, he says. Theres literally nobody better qualified to find out whether thats true than Kevin Nicholson.
