It was a battle between All-Stars Monday night with Paul George of the Pacers and Gordon Hayward of the Jazz squaring off. And while George got the win, it was Hayward who put together the more impressive performance. While George did hit a late jumper to seal the deal for Indiana, he finished with just 19 points on a rough 6 - of - 20 shooting from the field. Hayward, on the other hand, scored a career - high 38 points on 16 - of - 24 shooting from the field in 37 minutes. The difference ended up being that George had the support of his teammates, while Hayward did not. Five other Pacers starters scored in double figures Monday and Indiana got 28 points from its reserves. Meanwhile, Utah had just three other players score in double figures and their bench managed to produce just 17 points in the loss.
