Jazz hoping Hood's "breakout" will last

Rodney Hood on Sunday night looked more like the Rodney Hood Jazz fans thought they would see for most of the season.

The Jazz shooting guard got to the rim, and made shots at the rim. He splashed 3-pointers from the perimeter, and generally played like a comfortable, up and coming shooting guard.

It may have been his best offensive performance of the season.

Once the Jazz' loss was complete, 104-98 in overtime, Hood had 23 points on 8-17 shooting. He made four shots from beyond the line, and he looked confident and assertive.
