SALT LAKE CITY - Overhauling their philosophy on offence and defence has brought more pain than reward to Utah for much of the season.Thats one reason Utahs 100-96 victory over San Antonio on Tuesday night left a feeling of satisfaction in the Jazz locker room. Finally, the Jazz saw what could happen when they put together four complete quarters against a quality opponent.We didnt get down by 20 points tonight, which has kind of been our calling card, Utah forward Gordon Hayward said. Being able to stay in the game with a team like this was huge for us.Derrick Favours had 21 points and eight rebounds, while Hayward added 20 points and seven boards to help the Jazz snap a nine-game losing streak. Enes Kanter added 12 points and 15 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season, while Alec Burks chipped in 14 points for Utah, which lost all four games against the Spurs last season.Tim Duncan had 23 points and 13 rebounds for San Antonio, who lost to the Jazz for the first time in two years. Kawhi Leonard added 16 points and Danny Green chipped in 13 for the Spurs. San Antonio played without starting point guard Tony Parker and then lost coach Gregg Popovich to a third-quarter ejection.Utah outrebounded San Antonio 43-37, although the Spurs had a 62-50 advantage in points in the paint.The Jazz scored on five straight possessions down the stretch, culminating in Haywards jumper, to stake out a 97-87 lead with 1:50 remaining.I thought they were very aggressive, Popovich said. I thought they were patient. They executed well. They played better than we did in almost every facet of the game.Second-quarter struggles have been an ongoing issue for Utah this season, but the Jazz put together a complete first half for one of the few times this season. Utah edged in front 44-43 when Hayward drove for a layup with 34 seconds remaining in the half, claiming a rare halftime lead.Its just growth, Favours said. At the beginning of the year, we probably wouldnt have made the plays we made, especially at the defensive end.The Jazz stayed in front through much of the third quarter and led 67-59 when Favours completed a three-point play. San Antonio rallied to tie it at 69 on Greens layup.Momentum shifted back in Utahs favour when Popovich was tossed after getting two quick technical fouls with 10.4 seconds left in the quarter. Hayward and Rodney Hood each made a pair of free throws and the Jazz took a 78-72 lead into the fourth.We hoped it would turn, Duncan said. Balls (were) bouncing the wrong way. We were just off all night. They brought a lot of energy and continued to make plays, and give them credit for that. They played better for 48 minutes than we did.The Spurs had won 11 of their last 12 games before losing to Utah.TIP-INSJazz: Kanter was fined $25,000 by the NBA after throwing his mouth guard into the stands during Utahs loss to Sacramento on Monday.

"It feels good, Ive never had one before, not even in College," Hagelin said after the Rangers outgunned the Jets 4-2, behind some solid goaltending from Henrik Lundqvist following a pretty wide open first period.INDIANAPOLIS -- Lance Stephenson savors each opportunity he gets to beat up on his hometown teams -- especially when the Pacers are winning. On Thursday night, Indianas flamboyant guard had a big night on national television. Stephenson had a career-high 28 points, four rebounds and four assists and led the Pacers to their second-most lopsided win of the season, 117-89 over the Knicks. "If hes flashy, hes being flashy making basketball coach," coach Frank Vogel said. "One of our assistants said, Boy, I wish I had Lances energy every day. His competitive spirit is as high as anyone weve coached." Stephenson has been playing this way all season. He leads the NBA with three triple-doubles, the most of any Pacers player since Detlef Schrempf in 1992-93. With any luck, hed have a couple of more, too. And after a nasty crossover or spectacular move to the basket, he might show off some of that New York flair by wiggling his hips. But the Nets and Knicks seem to bring out the best in the Brooklyn native. This time, on a night that may serve as an audition for the All-Star selectors, he showed the whole basketball world what he could do. Stephenson went 10 of 17 from the field, 5 of 5 from the free-throw line, 3 of 7 on 3-pointers and had no turnovers in 28 minutes. His previous scoring high (26) came Dec. 23 in a 103-86 win at Brooklyn, and before this season, Stephenson had scored 22 points just two times -- once against Chicago in April 2012; the other, of course, came at Madison Square Garden last spring. Even a former Indiana University basketball star like Mike Woodson, who was drilled in defence under Bob Knight, came away impressed. "Youve really got to tip your hat to him," the Knicks coach said. "We had no answers for him." That has been a league-wide problem for Pacers foes, and not just against Stephenson. Indiana won its third straight to maintain its grip on the NBAs best record, extend its Eastern Conference lead over Miami to four games and continue its claim to the leagues best home record, 20-1. The Pacers arent slowing down, either. They beat Washington by 27 on Friday, Sacramento by 24 on Tuesday and handed what was one of the leagues hottest teams its most embarrassing road loss of the season. For the most part, Indiana has relied on its staunch defence. Stephenson andd Paul George have suddenly given Indiana a devastating offensive punch, too.dddddddddddd George added 25 points and seven rebounds on a night six players scored in double figures. The Pacers produced season highs for total points and points in a half (63) for the second straight game, and they even heeded the advice of team president Larry Bird, by cutting down their turnovers to a season-low five. "We have set a goal, and we want to be the No. 1 seed (in the East)," Stephenson said. "Every night I try to bring something to the table." The Knicks just couldnt keep up. Carmelo Anthony finished with 28 points, nine in the first six minutes and 18 in the first quarter when it was still a game. Tyson Chandler had 13 points and nine rebounds, while Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith each had 12. Smith played nearly 28 minutes after being benched in two of the Knicks previous four games. "Theyre a good team, but I dont think theyre 30 points better than our team," Woodson said after the rematch of last springs conference semifinals, which Indiana also won. "We were awful." Things started well for New York as Anthony pushed them to a 16-8 lead. But the Pacers rallied with an 11-2 run to take a 28-26 lead. Anthony bailed out the Knicks with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to make it 31-30 after one. Indiana seized control with an 11-1 spurt midway through the second quarter and pulled away late in the first half with a 16-7 run. That made it 63-48 at halftime. George opened the second half by scoring 10 points in a 15-8 spurt, which made it 78-56, and Stephenson closed it out as the Knicks couldnt get closer than 16 the rest of the way. "We understand how good we are when we run," George said. "I think thats the best way to put and the biggest way to look at it." NOTES: Kenyon Martin left in the second quarter and Amare Stoudemire followed him to the locker room in the third quarter. Both had sprained left ankles and did not return. ... Former Pacers All-Star Metta World Peace was inactive in New Yorks only regular-season game in Indianapolis. ... Fans chanted "Reg-gie, Reg-gie" when former Pacers star turned TV analyst Reggie Miller was shown on the overhead screen during the fourth quarter. ... Indiana has won four straight home games against the Knicks.
