Jazz-Spurs: Report card--Deseret News
Forwards: Paul Millsap and Gordon Hayward combined for 37 points and 12 rebounds, offsetting the mix of the ever-productive Tim Duncan (17 points, 11 rebounds), Stephen Jackson (14 points, four rebounds) and Kawhi Leonard. While Millsap was effective from the field (8 of 14), Hayward should be applauded for gaining 12 attempts from the charity stripe on the road, converting all of them. GRADE: B+

Utah Jazz hope returning home between games proves beneficial--Deseret News
"I think any time you get to sleep in your own bed and see your family and stuff like that, it probably is beneficial to you," said guard Gordon Hayward.
...
DEFENDING THE ALAMO: The Jazz made just 32-of-76 shots (42 percent) from the field on Sunday.
"They try to overplay the wing. So we definitely need to back cut some, so they have to honor our offense," Hayward said. "They play good defense. I think that's something that gets overlooked because they're such a good offensive team. But they're pretty sound defensively. They're physical and active."
Spurs' Parker ready for whatever Jazz may throw at him--Deseret News
The crafty 6-foot-2 playmaker guesses they might try to trap him, even throw 6-8 Gordon Hayward or bigger guys at him, anything aside from abduction, to keep him from going off and scoring 28 points and dishing out eight assists like he did in Sunday's 106-91 Game 1 win.
Utah Jazz: Tyrone Corbin wants better effort, intensity in Game 2--Deseret News
"It's a big game for us," Jazz shooting guard Gordon Hayward said. "(We need to) come in tonight and just play hard and compete and try to learn from what we did wrong in that first game and make the adjustment."
Hayward admitted he's excited to get on the court again after the Jazz fell to the Spurs, 106-91, Sunday afternoon in his NBA playoff debut.
"Yeah, it's fun. It's what you play for — games like this," Hayward said. "Tonight should be a good night for us. Hopefully, we can come out and play better and take it to them."
From Coach Tyrone Corbin to Al Jefferson to Hayward, the Jazz are convinced the result can be different this time around at the AT&T Center as long as Utah plays its game better.
NBA: Utah Jazz optimistic if offensive execution returns--Salt Lake Tribune
"They are a good defensive team — physical and active," said Gordon Hayward. "They get up into you and make things difficult. ... But we got that first game out of the way now and should be better."
According to Hayward, the Spurs pushed the Jazz players off their spots on offense. As a result, the smoothness of possession after possession was disrupted.
"We have to be as physical as they are so we can run our offense better," Hayward said. "... Just a few things like that will open things up a little bit."
...
Like Hayward, however, Paul Millsap believes the lack of execution contributed to Utah’s lack of ball movement and scoring in Game 1.

Lost in transition
...
The Jazz were 23 of 30 from the stripe overall, with Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks — a combined 16 of 17 — punishing the Spurs in transition.

They actually had a chance to cut further into the lead, but after Jamaal Tinsley’s steal, DeMarre Carroll was called for a charging foul. It all crumbled quickly after that. The Jazz missed 12 shots in a row, with Alec Burks, Al Jefferson and Josh Howard each going 0-for-3, while Millsap was 0-for-2 and Gordon Hayward missed his only attempt.

Rotation changes
Even during these playoffs, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s rotations have retained some element of unpredictability.
Instead of tightening his bench, Spoelstra used 10 players in the first half of Game 2, including stints for Norris Cole and James Jones. Neither played in the third quarter.
Cole was removed from the rotation briefly during April after a long shooting slump. He shot 23 for 71 in March and 35 for 98 in April. He logged 2:46 in the first half of Game 2 but hit his only shot, a 17-foot jumper.
