The past of the Utah Jazz was on the court in Gordon Hayward. The future of the Utah Jazz was on the court in Donovan Mitchell. But the best player on the court tonight was one Joseph Howarth Ingles. On the very first possession of Utah’s 123-115 win over the Boston Celtics, the Jazz put Hayward in the pick and roll and Ingles went right around him for the layup. It was a sign of what was to come.
Ingles awoke from a bit of a shooting slump, tying his career high with 27 points.
