Hood earns bragging rights over Lyles and Neto in Rising Stars Challenge

TORONTO — Trey Lyles and Raul Neto might not hear the end of it from Rodney Hood.

Not only did Hood’s Team USA edge out Team World in a 157-154 highlight-fest, but Lyles and Neto also each ended up on the wrong side of individual matchups with their American teammate Friday night during the Rising Stars Challenge at Air Canada Centre.

Hood also outscored, outrebounded and outdunked his Jazz buddies. The second-year Jazz guard finished with 11 points, including four dunks, three rebounds and three assists to boot.

Listen to him, and Hood might tell you he outdefended Lyles and Neto, too.
