Jazz's George Hill: Produces team-high scoring total in return

Hill (groin) started at point guard and provided 20 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five assists, two steals and one rebound across 19 minutes in Monday's 105-99 win over the Warriors.

Analysis:

Hill was on a 20-minute restriction in his return from a six-game absence due the groin injury, but he still ended up surpassing his season scoring average thanks to some highly efficient shooting. The point guard's stellar performance has to be an encouraging sign for the Jazz as they gear up for the postseason, and assuming he's no worse for the wear during Wednesday's season finale against the Spurs, Hill should be ready to take on a 30-plus-minute role throughout the playoffs.
