Gordon Hayward delighted with first Utah Jazz win

Hayward delighted with first win

Gordon Hayward has said that it was "really fun" for the Utah Jazz to secure their first win of the NBA season.

The Jazz ended their worst start in 39 years by coming from behind to beat the New Orleans Pelicans last night.

The 23-year-old told reporters: "Once you see that ball go in, the hoop gets wider and guys are feeding off the energy. It started to become really fun.

"It's definitely fun when guys are making shots and you're whipping the ball around from side to side. And we were getting some stops too.

"It's about time! It's been tough to sleep at night as a member of the only NBA team without a win. I hate losing and maybe I'll finally sleep well tonight."

The Jazz face the San Antonio Spurs tomorrow night.
