It was just another game for Utah Jazz point guard George Hill. Another day in the life of an NBA player. Except that it wasn’t.
The Jazz were back in Salt Lake City on Saturday night to take on Paul George, former Jazzman C.J. Miles and the Indiana Pacers. It was a chance for Utah to pick up a nice home victory and extend their season-long winning streak to six games. For Hill, though, it was more than that.
It was a chance for retribution, even if he didn’t care to admit it. When asked what the Jazz-Pacers affair meant to him before the game, Hill went blasé with his response.
