SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Gordon Hayward scored 26 points and grabbed 15 rebounds as the Utah Jazz upset the league’s highest-scoring team, the Golden State Warriors, 110-100 on Friday night.
It was Jazz’s first win in three tries against the Warriors.
Hayward showed no lingering effects from sinus congestion that held him out of practice Thursday. He added six assists to his double-double. The Jazz got a huge lift from the bench with 17 points from Trevor Booker and 15 from Trey Burke.
“It was good to see (Hayward) get energized and get some of his juice back,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. “I think he’s always risen to a challenge in a matchup. He played really well and played really hard. … The biggest thing is his rebounding.”
Stephen Curry had his ninth 30-point game of the season and finished with 32.
