Gordon Hayward scored 21 points and C.J. Miles added 20 as the Utah Jazz held off a Sacramento rally Saturday night during a 96-93 victory over the Kings at EnergySolutions Arena.

Utah owned a 95-93 lead when former BYU star Jimmer Fredette took a 3-point shot that could have given Sacramento the lead. But he missed and the Jazz iced the win with a free throw.
