Line of the Night

Hayward scored 11 of his 26 points in the last four minutes to lead the Jazz over the Timberwolves 100-96. Wes Matthews and Kyle Lowry went head-to-head last night as well. Wes went 5 of 10 from beyond the arch as Portland downed the Raptors in OT, Lowry leading Toronto with 25 points, 5 assists and 3 steals. Jimmy Butler was off last night, but so was the entire Bulls staff and they lost to a KG-less Brooklyn squad in Chicago.
