An example of such hardwood harmony came in the final minutes of Saturday's Utah Jazz-Indiana Pacers matchup, when Hayward used a nifty behind-the-back dribble to shed pesky defender Paul George, changed directions and found Favors on the baseline for a powerful two-handed jam.

I'll just say what we were all thinking....that was pretty! #UTAatIND

The Jazz defeated the Pacers - who are now 0-3 on the season - in a 97-76 drubbing.
