George Hill provided something in the Utah Jazz’s first round series that has been hard to come by; health and consistency. With Gordon Hayward’s food poisoning interrupting an otherwise outstanding series and Rudy Gobert’s problems with knees, ankles and fouling out, Hill managed to be productive every night.
The Jazz will need in more of the same during their second-round match-up with Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors.
Hill played just one game against Stephen Curry this season and it was Game 81 of the season coming off an injury. He played a measly 19 minutes, but had a solid outing and shot exceptionally from the perimeter.
