JAZZ 114, MAGIC 107
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Gordon Hayward scored 23 points to help Utah beat Orlando, a victory tempered by the loss of Rodney Hood to a right knee injury with 1:44 remaining.
On a fast break after Rudy Gobert blocked Nikola Vucevic's shot, Hood was hurt when his right knee buckled as he went up for a layup. Hood screamed in pain and clutched the knee immediately upon falling. The Jazz said it was a hyperextended knee and Hood was walking gingerly but without assistance in the locker room.
Gobert added 19 points and 19 rebounds for Utah. Hood had 14 points. Elfrid Payton had a career-high 28 points and added nine rebounds and nine assists for Orlando.
