SALT LAKE CITY - For Rockets guard Eric Gordon, games against the Jazz offer a reminder of high school days and his Indianapolis hometown. Gordon played at North Central High School when Jazz star Gordon Hayward played at Brownsburg and Jazz point guard George Hill was at Broad Ripple. Several years later, Jazz forward Trey Lyles played at Indianapolis' Arsenal Technical High School.
"George, when I was a freshman, he was a senior. Gordon Hayward was a year behind me," Gordon said. "I've known them since we were all kids. I've known Trey Lyles since he was a kid, too.
