The Utah Jazz were supposed to be the West's next rising team, but their progress has been stunted by injury after injury to key players. Prized young point guard Dante Exum suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the summer, while Rudy Gobert, Derrick Favors and Alec Burks have all missed significant chunks of time during the season. That's why they sit at three games under .500 after the midway point. That Utah is even weathering the storm and remaining in the playoff picture primarily comes down to the one constant. That's Gordon Hayward, whose stellar all-around play has peppered over many of the Jazz's holes throughout their difficult season. Hayward's versatile game was on full display in Utah's thrilling 105-96 overtime victory over the Bulls on Monday. After a slow start in which he was soundly outplayed by Jimmy Butler, Hayward rose to the occasion, scoring 19 points in the second half and overtime to help secure the victory. He stuffed the stat sheet with 27 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in 44 minutes of action . - See more at: http://www.sbnation.com/2016/2/2/10893702/gordon-hayward-utah-jazz-highlights-stats
