It wasn't some stupid "why are my hips moving on their own?", let's turn this into an action sequence with randomly added convenient symbolism heavy-handed insert like in the anime.

I'd rather have the anime version than have another Titan just coincidentally get there and actually save Mikasa at the last minute, because we really wouldn't be sure whether she'd live or not with only 1 short blade and no 3DMG against a Titan.
At least in the anime version, she was able to save herself with her own instinct for some time and she only decided to make her last stand during the last part when she gets cornered by two Titans. It adds a bit more shock to the scene and less 'Oh, another Titan just came there right in time to save her, huh?' The moment the other came in felt more random and therefore more natural.
