Utah Jazz extra: Shooting 3s, little LOL moments, 'Leave it to Beaver'--Deseret News
3. Feeling the love
Earl Watson and Josh Howard might be in contention for "Father of the Year" after sending flowers to their children on Valentine's Day. Watson sent a dozen roses and a little teddy bear to his 2-year-old daughter in preschool. Howard had flowers delivered to his son and daughter along with his mom and grandma while the Jazz were in Oklahoma.
"They were very, very appreciative," he said. "I did it because I knew they weren't expecting it."
Evans picked out and bought his girlfriend a dress — something he was teased about by teammates. Gordon Hayward sent flowers and the latest "Twilight" movie to his girlfriend.
"I think," he said, smiling, "she's on Team Edward."

With many NBA teams dealing with the loss of star players, the Jazz have largely remained in the clear. That’s allowed Utah coach Tyrone Corbin to start Devin Harris, Bell, Gordon Hayward, Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson 23 times as his first unit. And the Jazz’s combination of good luck and better training has provided Corbin with a spotlight to shine on the team’s respected staff.

Michigan State's Branden Dawson dunks, dazzles in return to home state--The Detroit Free Press
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- Branden Dawson got the ball on the break a couple of steps before the rim. No one was in front of him. A Purdue defender was closing quickly behind him.
As he collected the pass, he already knew what he was going to do. Teammate Brandon Wood had urged him before the game to do something "nasty to upset the crowd" if he had the chance in the open court. So he jumped and windmilled the ball through the hoop.
