Jazz's Gordon Hayward: Struggles with shot in loss to Nuggets

Hayward scored just nine points (2-10 FT, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT) while adding six rebounds and three assists across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 103-93 loss to the Nuggets.

Analysis:

Presented with an inviting matchup on paper, Hayward struggled from the field en route to his first single-digit scoring performance in over a month. The Jazz's go-to player had averaged 22.6 points on 51.5 percent shooting from the floor and 50 percent from behind the arc over his last seven games, and he should bounce back from this underwhelming performance sooner rather than later.
