The Utah Jazz and Brooklyn Nets squared off on Saturday night in what most fans expected to be a home romp for the Jazz. Instead, the Jazz struggled offensively, while Brooklyn shot a blistering 50 percent from behind the arc to beat the Jazz 98-96.
Gordon Hayward led the Jazz with 27 points despite being plagued by foul trouble. Rudy Gobert added 12 points, along with a season-high 19 rebounds and six blocked shots to have his best game since returning from injury. However, it wasn’t enough to wrest control of the game back from the Nets.
