The Utah Jazz defeated the host Atlanta Hawks, 120 - 95, at Philips Arena on Monday. In a battle between two of the stingiest defenses in the league, the Jazz had their best shooting game of the season. In fact, Utah shot 61 percent from the field and recorded 31 assists. That's far better than Atlanta's 45 percent shooting and 16 assists. Rebounding was a huge factor as well, with Utah winning that battle, 44 - 30. The Jazz did most of their damage in the paint, winning the points in the paint differential, 58 - 44. This was a wire - to - wire win for the Jazz, as they held a double - digit lead for the final 15 minutes. The Jazz (33 - 19) have n't had all their pieces fully healthy much this season, but a win like this shows how scary they can be at full tilt. Gordon Hayward was the player of the game, as he tallied 30 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals. Derrick Favors had one of his best games of the season, totaling 20 points, 10 rebounds, three steals and two blocks on 10 - of - 12 shooting. George Hill finished second on the team in scoring, collecting 22 points, four rebounds and eight assists. Rudy Gobert was the only other Jazz player in double figures, as he provided 14 points, six rebounds, three assists and three blocks. The Hawks (30 - 22) have been inconsistent all season and blowout losses like this at home are head scratchers to say the least. Dennis Schroder carried the load, as he amassed 21 points, two rebounds and two assists. Paul Millsap went just 4 - of - 14 from the field, but finished with 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists. Tim Hardaway Jr. also scored 14 points, adding three rebounds and three assists to his tally.
