Rachel I think you might be new to covering basketball so I'll give you a few tips. 14 points is not a close game. Also 50% is a great shootage percentage. So I wouldn't say only shot 50%.

I hope we only shoot 50% more often.
Seriously though, Burks and Hayward rock together. Heres to hoping we see alot more of it! Go Jazz!

@B Russ

I agree with you...they work well together...both can penetrate...both can share ball handling duties...both can pass...and both can..well..shoot decently...if they are given paul george minutes...they would've developed
