NEW YORK -- Gordon Hayward quickly regained his scoring touch, especially from the foul line.Hayward made all 14 of his free throws and finished with 28 points in his season debut, leading the Utah Jazz over the New York Knicks 114-109 Sunday.Hayward had been sidelined since breaking his right ring finger in training camp. He led the team in scoring last season, averaging nearly 20 points per game.I think any time you add a player of his caliber, everybody gets to do what theyre good at a little easier, Jazz coach Quin Snyder said.Theres a trickle-down effect. I think he gives guys confidence. It allows us to play small with more size and more force, he said.Hayward shot 6 of 17 from the field, including 2 of 8 on 3-pointers.I think, hopefully, we can be better than we were last year, he said. Thats kind of been our mindset. We wanted to close out more games than last year. We had a big one tonight that we closed out.George Hill had 23 points and nine assists for the Jazz, who have won three of four. Rodney Hood added 18 points while Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors each had 13.Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis each scored 28 for the Knicks, who have lost three of four. Derrick Rose had 18.The Jazz reeled off nine straight points to begin the fourth quarter for an 87-80 and never trailed again.This is a game that I felt we kind of let slide and slip from us, Anthony said. We gave this game away. Whatever was the cause of it, we let this one slip out of our hands.Porzingis and Anthony combined for 24 points in the first quarter, shooting 10 of 12 to help the Knicks take a 30-20 lead.Hayward scored 10 in the second quarter as the Jazz closed to 54-49 at halftime. Porzingis and Anthony totaled 14 points in the third period for an 80-78 lead.Hood scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, as did Rose(Hood) was aggressive, Hill said. When hes aggressive, were a different team. Like I told him going into the fourth quarter when Gordon and I were sitting down, he has to take over the game.Even though Gordons back, we need him to be aggressive and be another force on that offensive end, he said.TIP-INSJazz: Joe Johnson came off the bench for the first time since Dec. 9, 2003. He scored 10 points. ... Alec Burks (ankle) and Boris Diaw (leg) did not dress.Knicks: Coach Jeff Hornacek praised Hayward before the game, saying, If he wasnt in the West, hed probably have been an All-Star by now. The coach added: I think the game has slowed down for him. It seems very easy for him. He knows exactly what hes doing out there in pick-and-rolls, where to get his shots, when to take the big shots. ... Maurice Ndour and Marshall Plumlee were inactive.ROSES ROLEPeople lead in different ways, Rose said. You have your leaders like Kobe (Bryant). Hes more personal, hes more intimate and in your face about it. You have leaders like myself and youve got Tim Duncan, where we lead by example by coming in every day, being consistent with our workouts and just showing people that were focused and were trying to get better. I lead by example.UP NEXTJazz: Visit Philadelphia on Monday.Knicks: Host Brooklyn on Wednesday. Josh Jacobs Raiders Jersey .

The Sydney Kings have ruled out Julian Khazzouh for the remainder of the 2016/2017 National Basketball League season.Khazzouh has been hampered by a quadriceps tendon injury and after consultation between the player, the medical and coaching staff and Kings management, it was decided that the 30-year-old would continue his recovery and rehabilitation without the pressure of racing the clock to qualify for the NBLs eight games minimum requirement ahead of the playoffs.Kings Managing Director Jeff Van Groningen said in a statement that he believes the decision is the right one.We support Julian and his quest to get himself right, Mr Van Groningen said.We felt tthat the added pressure associated with the 8 game minimum threshold was unhelpful to Julians recovery process at this time.ddddddddddddJulian has been an important part of the Sydney Kings organisation for a number of years, and losing him for the rest of the season is unfortunate. However, Julians health and welfare are paramount to us and we will continue to support him through this process.Khazzouh was team captain between 2010 and 2012 and has made 70 appearances for the Kings, averaging 16.2 points and 9.7 rebounds per game.
