Jazz vs Celtics Game Recap

On February 25, 2013, the Utah Jazz fell in overtime to the Boston Celtics, 110-107. It was a tough loss for Utah. This was their first overtime loss of the season. The Celtics were able to slow down Al Jefferson as well, who only shot 11 field goals in the game. On the bright side, though, Gordon Hayward lit it up off the bench, scoring 26 points on 4 three-pointers and going 8/9 from the free throw line. Hayward has continued his leadership this season, and his shoulder injury doesn't seem to have an effect on him. Unfortunately, the Jazz couldn't pull out a win at home. Here is a video and the box score:

The next match up for Utah is on Wednesday night at home. The Jazz are taking on the Atlanta Hawks, and former Jazzman Devin Harris will return to Utah. The Jazz should be able to pull out a win then, and it would be a disaster if they came out with a loss (but they won't). Thanks for reading, and here are some Jazz vs Celtics pics:
