No late-game heroics needed as Jazz pick up big win over LeBron, Cavs

The crowd could feel it. It was definitely a good win. Anytime you can beat LeBron and his team here, it’s a good win.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Jazz didn’t need any Sundiata Gaines made-for-Hollywood heroics. They didn’t need a game-winning jumper by Gordon Hayward. They didn’t need a great play by Deron Williams or Devin Harris, either.

While those all evoke good memories for Jazz fans in previous Utah wins against LeBron James teams, this growing-before-our-eyes squad didn’t need any late-game theatrics to beat the self-proclaimed king another time in a 100-92 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
