Defending champions Golden State Warriors survived a stunning scare from Utah Jazz by a whisker from Jonas Jerebko - former Jazz player - with a late tip-in to win by 124-123.
Jazz were incredibly superb in the first half racking up 81 points that left the Steve and Kevin led side frustrated and demoralised.
By the second quarter, Golden State got more aggressive and reduced the margin to three points.but brilliant shots from Jazz's Joe Ingles once again widen the margin until 0.3sec to full time when Jerebko completed Kevin Durant's jumper with a tip-in to snatch the victory.
Durant topped the score-line for Golden State with 38 points and nine assists, followed by two-time MVP winner Steve Curry  who recorded 31 points and eight assists, and Draymond Green netted 14 points, rebounds and six assists.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Jonah Jerebko talked about getting the much needed points to save his team on his debut saying, "It was fun. My teammates are really helping me out. I'm new here, so they've just been carrying me. It felt great. Obviously, being back here...I had a great time here. So, to come back...I wanted a win, o it felt great."
