SALT LAKE CITY -- Turnovers got the Utah Jazz off to a rough start Saturday night.Sacramento raced to big leads in the first and third quarters, but behind Gordon Hayward and Rudy Gobert, Utah rallied both times for a 104-84 victory over the Kings.The Jazz had 22 turnovers but won for the eighth time in 10 games after holding Sacramento to just eight points on 3-of-22 shooting in the fourth quarter. It is the fewest points allowed by Utah in the fourth quarter this season.We guarded, Hayward said. They got nothing easy. It seemed like a lot of the shots were contested. Thats just what happened. Then we were able to get the ball up the court and they werent set. We got some good looks. People knocked down timely 3s.Gobert had 17 points, 14 rebounds and a season-high six blocks for the Jazz and is one of only five NBA players to block six or more shots in a game this season. Hayward scored 26 points after sitting out with an injured finger in Thursdays loss to Golden State, and Trey Lyles added 14 points and five rebounds for Utah.Rudy Gay scored 20 points and DeMarcus Cousins had 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead Sacramento. Darren Collison added 17 points and Omri Casspi chipped in 12 for the Kings, who lost for the seventh time in nine games.The Kings were undone by their lifeless fourth quarter.We scored eight, Sacramento coach Dave Joerger said. We shot 37 percent (in the game). Its tough. They do a great job of clogging the paint. You got to make shots if youre going to get them.The Kings took an early lead thanks to Utahs mistakes. The Jazz turned the ball over four times in the first 2:20 of the game, leading to an 11-0 Sacramento run. Gay highlighted the spurt with layups off back-to-back steals, and Kosta Koufos banked in a hook shot to finish it off.After a quick timeout, Utahs offense got back on track with baskets from Boris Diaw and Dante Exum on consecutive possessions. The Jazz took their first lead a couple of minutes later after Joe Ingles buried a 3-pointer. Hayward then capped a 22-5 run with back-to-back baskets to give Utah a 22-16 lead.The third quarter felt like a rerun of the first. After clawing back for a 52-50 halftime lead, Utah fell behind again after committing a pair of turnovers to spark a 10-0 Sacramento run. The Kings went ahead on two baskets from Collison and took a 60-52 lead on a pull-up jumper from Gay.Much like the first quarter, the Jazz rallied, and then Utah used a 20-4 run to slam the door on the Kings early in the fourth quarter. Hayward capped the stretch with a 3-pointer to give the Jazz a 98-80 lead with 5:31 remaining.They were unforced, just sloppy play, Utah coach Quin Snyder said. The guys sorted it out, which was good to see.TIP INSKings: Sacramento scored a season-high 36 points off turnovers. ... The Kings are 0-12 this season when trailing after three quarters. ... Cousins averaged 30.0 points and 13.0 rebounds in three games against Utah last season.Jazz: Hayward became the first Jazz player with 10 straight 20-point games since Karl Malone in 2001. ... Gobert registered his fourth straight double-double and his 15th overall this season. Gobert has averaged a double-double through Utahs first 25 games.CORRALLING COUSINSUtah tried to limit Cousins to low-percentage shots, keeping him out of the paint and off the free-throw line.Mission accomplished. Cousins shot just 7 of 22 from the floor and attempted just three free throws in 34 minutes. It became obvious Cousins was in for a long night when Gobert swatted back his dunk attempt on Sacramentos first play of the game.For Cousins, hes one of the best players in the league at his position, Gobert said. So you cant give him any space and you also have to make sure you move your feet because hes pretty quick and pretty strong.UP NEXTKings: Monday they return home to host the Los Angeles Lakers for the final time this season. Last time against the Lakers, poor second-half shooting led to a home loss for Sacramento.Jazz: Wednesday they host Oklahoma City. The Thunder swept the season series 4-0 with Utah a season ago.

Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Edinson Volquez Jersey .ca. Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start. Fergie Jenkins Jersey . Didier Drogba gave away the penalty that put Senegal one goal away from a major upset, but the veteran striker will get another chance -- probably his last -- at the World Cup after Salomon Kalous injury-time strike sealed the Ivorians place in Brazil next year. South Sydney will be using John Suttons 250th game milestone as added motivation for breaking their four-game losing streak and beginning their climb up the NRL ladder.A league powerhouse in recent years, the 13th-placed Rabbitohs face the daunting task of winning seven of their remaining nine games of the regular season just to hit the magical 28-point mark and make the finals.Its an equation made tougher by meeting reigning premiers North Queensland in Cairns on Sunday, however star forward Sam Burgess says Suttons milestone will give them added drive to turn their fortunes around.Sutton, 31, will become the first player in club history to crack the 250-game mark.Especially with the history and how long the clubs been going, its just a credit to John, Burgess said at Redfern Oval on Thursday.With how tough the game is today, what it demands on the body, to put in 250 at one club is fantastic.Hes been through some of the tough years, some of the worst years at Souths, and hes experienced some of the better years as well. He knows what works and what doesnt.Hes a huge part of the team and its been great having him back the last few weeks. Hes feeling better each week and I think hell be looking forwward to a good game on Sunday.ddddddddddddBurgess, who returned to his 2014 form with a two-try haul in a loss to Penrith last week, said the team was well aware of the predicament they were in with just over two months remaining in the season.But he urged his teammates to focus solely on kick-starting their campaign against the Cowboys.We need to concentrate on ourselves, not worry about how long weve got and the scenarios and how many we need to win. Its more about our performance this weekend, he said.The Rabbitohs are likely to get a huge boost by the return of Adam Reynolds, who has been named to play despite picking up what appeared to be a serious shoulder injury for NSW in State of Origin II last week.The Blues No.7 missed the Rabbitohs loss to the Panthers on Saturday and has yet to train with the team all week, but his teammates were confident he would be playing in Cairns.Hes being a pest as usual and thats always a good sign, Burgess said.Hes tough and hes not daft. Well be smart and make sure if hes playing, hes healthy. But signs are that hes looking good. ' ' '
