After Hayward's go-ahead bucket, Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson put Detroit back on top with 17 seconds left on the clock. From there, Burks missed an open look that would have given Utah a one-point lead. And Jazz shooting guard Rodney Hood had his arm hit by Detroit's Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as he released a 3-pointer to tie the game, but no foul was called.
"I've been a part of them plays a lot," said Hood, who had 12 points but went 0-for-7 from 3-point territory on the night. "It could go either way. He contested the shot. They won the game.

[QUOTE]In a back-and-forth battle, the Detroit Pistons held off the visiting Jazz in the closing seconds.
If this season opener was any indicator, the 2015-16 Utah Jazz campaign should be one exciting, eventful season. With the Jazz visiting the Detroit Pistons, the game featured two teams looking to change their long-term fortunes. In a hard fought game, the Pistons came out on top 92-87.
Why the Jazz lost: Utah managed to stay right with Detroit for much of the evening on the road. But in a tight game, the little things stick out a bit more. The Jazz struggled from the perimeter, missed some crucial free throws and committed some defensive mistakes. Detroit made some key plays in the fourth quarter, capitalizing on Utah

Good thing because there will be a lot of bad nights offesnsively.

[QUOTE]Trey Burke's Michigan homecoming was a disappointment. In Detroit, not far from where he was a college star, the Jazz point guard found himself scoreless and stuck to the bench for much of the Jazz's season-opener. But the third-year pro brushed it off and bounced back on Friday night, scoring 10 points and handing out six assists to help the Jazz beat the 76ers 99-71.
"He didn't have a good game [in Detroit] obviously," said Jazz coach Quin Snyder, who played Burke just 2:40 in the second half of that one. "To see him come in with that level of focus and be able to move to the next play, as they say, and not let that bother him says a lot about who he is right now."

"My teammates and Coach just told me to be aggressive," he said. "Just be myself.

Being tourself is a scary thought! :banghead:
[QUOTE]Raul did a great job really hounding the ball and making it hard on the other guard. I wanted to pick up there defensively and offensively be aggressive."
Burke said he was "obviously" motivated by his second-half benching Wednesday.
"But I think that's how I should play every night," he said. "Coach felt like I didn't have the same energy Wendesday night and he did what he did with the lineups. But I felt like tonight
