Gordon Hayward: Returns from illness to score 27 points Tuesday

Hayward returned with a vengeance after a bout of food poisoning resulted in him
playing just nine minutes in Game 4. In addition to clearing 40 minutes for the
third time in the series, Hayward paced the Jazz scoring attack and was able to
capitalize on the open looks he received early in the contest. While Hayward
indicated after the game that he was still a little weak coming back from the
illness, it certainly didn’t show in his numbers, which have been outstanding
throughout the entire first round, save for Game 4. He should be in store for
another hefty workload as the Jazz look to close out the series in Utah on
Friday.
