Alec Burks, Rodney Hood Move Utah Jazz Playoff Needle

In their team’s preseason opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, Utah Jazz wings Alec Burks and Rodney Hood looked, well, less than sharp.

The Jazz were able to prevail in blowout fashion, but the duo combined for only four points on one of 14 shooting from the field. However, Jazz fans weren’t afforded much of a chance to get down on the guard tandem.

So, Burks and Hood just took over this game

Burks and Hood came alive Peter Frampton-style in Tuesday’s rematch with the Lake Show, spearheading the Jazz late-game attack to help to secure the win in an overtime thriller.
