The Utah Jazz ( 11 - 14 ) held down the Denver Nuggets ( 11 - 15 ) in a 97 - 88 win on Friday , The Jazz are known as one of the best defensive teams in the league and that carried them on Friday . They held the Nuggets to just 15 points in the fourth quarter and to 6 - for - 28 shooting from three - point range in the game . Utah went on a 70 run in the middle of the fourth quarter and that really set the teams apart to give the Jazz the win . That snapped a four - game losing streak for Utah and a hot six - game stretch for Denver Denver came into this game winning five of their last six and played well enough to win here . They just could n't hit jumpers , as they shot below 25 percent on shots outside of the key . Will Barton led the team with 16 points scored off the bench and continues to show his versatility and growth . Joffrey Lauvergne also played well , as he recorded a 12 points - 13 rebound double - double in the loss . This team has been playing better lately and this is a tough task playing in Utah against a hungry Jazz team . The Nuggets will look to bounce - back when they host the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday . Utah had lost four - straight coming into this , so it was a much needed win . Gordon Hayward was the star in the game , as he tallied 26 points , five rebounds and four assists in the win . No other player scored more than 13 points , but they did have nine players score at least five points . The offense has really been struggling this season , but they 'll hope a 47 percent shooting night will get the team going . Utah will look to keep this momentum going on Monday against the Phoenix Suns , another poor defensive team .
