He ended up with 20 points, five assists and six rebounds.

Andrew Harrison:

Harrison may have fouled out in the last few minutes in the forth quarter, but that did not stop him. He had a career-high 23 points. He took it to the Jazz defense getting to the rim and scoring from deep. Harrison also had two highlight blocks, two steals, four assists and one rebound.
