If there's anyone out there wondering why the Utah Jazz matched the Charlotte Hornets' max contract offer of $63 million over four years for Gordon Hayward, here's your answer. Aside from having the potential to fill up a stat sheet, like he did tonight against the Cleveland Cavaliers with 21 points, seven assists, four rebounds and one block, Hayward is the type of player that the Jazz can turn to when the game is on the line.
With the Jazz and Cavs tied up at 100 with 3.4 seconds remaining, Hayward took it upon himself to seek out the rock, free himself up from Tristan Thompson and sink a fallaway jumper to win it for Utah. And just like that, the Baby-Faced Assassin strikes again!
