Gordon Hayward has said that the Utah Jazz played their best game of the season to beat the Sacramento Kings.

Richard Jefferson led the team with 20 points as they clinched just their second away win of the season, beating the Kings 112-101.

The shooting guard told reporters: "We've lost a lot of close games this year, especially early in the season when we had as many as four players out. When we have our whole team here it's a different story.

"This was our best game this season for sure. That was in our minds right from the tip off. We owed those guys."

The Jazz face the Denver Nuggets tomorrow.
