SAN ANTONIO -- Utah point guard George Hill used the lessons he learned in three seasons with San Antonio to hand his former team a rare home loss.Hill had 22 points and the Jazz made a season-high 15 3-pointers, handing the Spurs their first loss of the season 106-91 on Tuesday night.He had a great game, San Antonio veteran Manu Ginobili said. For three quarters they played good solid basketball and in the fourth he just took over. Made some big shots, good plays off the pick-and-roll. Hes a great player, we know he can do it.Utah handed San Antonio only its second home loss since March 2015. The Spurs didnt lose their first home game last season until April 10 and finished 40-1 at the AT&T Center.Every loss is disappointing to me, said Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard, who had a game-high 30 points. Just disappointed in our defensive effort. Our energy wasnt there in the first quarter. They were knocking down shots in the fourth quarter. They scored 33 in the fourth and thats not good either.Hill made four straight baskets starting with about 6 minutes left in the fourth, scoring 10 points to give the Jazz a 96-88 lead with 4 minutes remaining.The Spurs rallied from an anemic first quarter to capture the lead, but Hill helped steady the young Jazz with a court presence he learned under San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich.Play like youve been there before, Hill said. Coach Pop always instilled that into me my first three years here. Dont show really that much emotion, unless its part of the game, but act like youve been there before. Thats what I try to instill in the guys, move onto the next play every time.Utah needed that serenity after nearly blowing a dominant first quarter.We definitely allowed them to play too comfortable and get into a rhythm early on, San Antonio center Pau Gasol said. They were executing well, give them credit, but we didnt put enough pressure on their offense to force them to take tougher shots.The Jazz built a 12-point lead in the opening quarter by shooting 72 percent from the field and 88 percent on 3s. Utah made seven 3-pointers in the first quarter, one more than their previous season high for a game.Some of its just basketball gods, Jazz coach Snyder said. There are nights like that and then there are nights like tonight. The biggest thing for our guys is that they dont get discouraged when they miss and keep shooting.Rodney Hood finished with 19 points, Trey Lyles 15 and Shelvin Mack 14 for Utah, which finished 15 for 31 from 3-point range.It didnt matter if the Spurs contested the shots or not, Utahs shots were falling in the first quarter. San Antonio didnt panic, sticking to their rotations and sets.The Spurs erased a 47-31 deficit, going on a 15-0 run over a 6-minute span. Leonards 16-foot jumper pulled San Antonio within 47-46 and LaMarcus Aldridges 18-footer tied the game at 48.Aldridge finished with 21 points on 8-for-16 shooting.But Lyles revived Utahs offense, scoring all but two points during a 10-0 run in the third quarter that gave the Jazz a 70-63 lead they would never relinquish.Lyles finished 2 for 7 on 3-pointers and Hood was 4 for 8.TIP-INSJazz: Mack was 0 for 4 on 3-pointers this season before making his only two attempts against the Spurs. . F Boris Diaw missed his first game of the season, sitting out against his former team with a bruised right leg. Diaw, who played with San Antonio from 2012-2016, received a loud ovation when his image was shown on the video boards. Hill, who played three seasons in San Antonio, also received a loud ovation. ... Utah was winless in its two road games this season, losing by an average of 11 points.Spurs: San Antonio has a winning record in the regular season for all but 48 days since 1997. ... Jonathan Simmons made his first start of the season. Filling in for Danny Green, Simmons had two points in 29 minutes. Green is sidelined by a strained left quadriceps. ... Tony Parker is 73rd in league history with 1,084 games played, breaking a tie he had with Antawn Jamison and Dell Curry.FAVORS RETURNSDerrick Favors started for the first time this season after being limited due to a sore knee.Favors had six points and three rebounds in 16 minutes for the Jazz. He did not play in the second half as a precaution.Hes on a minutes restriction, Snyder said. Were being smart with Fav and making sure that we bring him back the right way. I think he was ready to play. I think he got a little cold when we put him back in. He wasnt quite the same, but thats why were doing what were doing.STILL A FAVORITEHill remains one of Popovichs favorite players ever, even after he helped Utah hand San Antonio a double-digit loss.He played great, especially down the stretch, Popovich said. He was very controlled, ran the show, obviously made shots. He was great.Hill made sure to hug Popovich after the game and let the veteran coach know how much he still means to him.Pop is one of the best people that came into my life, Hill said. I just asked him how his wife is doing, how hes doing and to tell him I love him.UP NEXTJazz: Host Dallas on Wednesday.Spurs: At the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday.

SEATTLE -- Looking back, Washingtons collapse in the desert last November is where it all changed.The Huskies melted down in the second half against Arizona State, watching a 14-point lead disappear into a 27-17 loss that put them on the verge of missing the postseason.It proved to be the game that led to the rise of No. 7 Washington this year. The Huskies have won 12 of 13 games since that loss and will close out their home slate on Saturday hosting Arizona State with far more at stake than that game in Tempe, Arizona, a year ago.The Huskies 12-game win streak was snapped last week by USC, putting into peril Washingtons hopes of a spot in the College Football Playoff. The Huskies (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12, No. 6 CFP) know they must win out to have a chance of being in the top four.Thats not as simple as it sounds. Arizona State has won 10 straight meetings with the Huskies and Saturdays game will be followed by the Apple Cup in Pullman and a possible Pac-12 title game.If youre just so disappointed because of this loss with all this football left to be played then youre in the wrong locker room and you havent been hearing a word that weve been talking about, Washington coach Chris Petersen said. Theres a lot of football left and awesome things to play for and all that stuff.Last weeks loss exposed issues that have otherwise been masked for most of the season. Washingtons pass rush was non-existent against USC, giving Sam Darnold plenty of time to find gaps in the secondary. The Huskies offensive line struggled to establish the running game. The Huskies were held to 17 yards rushing as a team, their fewest since having just 13 yards in a 2006 loss at Oregon.Jake Browning threw two interceptions and the Huskies were held to their lowest point total since the 2015 season opener.I dont think our protection was as good as it has been overall, Petersen said. Toward the end you kind of get into that trying to make some stuff happen and that kind of never really goes great.Arizona State (4-6, 2-5) may be just the opponent to allow Washington to get back on track.dddddddddddd The Sun Devils are last in the Pac-12 in pass defense, giving up nearly 400 yards per game through the air, and have allowed at least 37 points in four straight games. Washington wide receiver John Ross has at least 100 yards receiving in three of the past four games.(John) Ross is probably the most dynamic player in our league, Arizona State coach Todd Graham said.Other things to watch as the Huskies and Sun Devils meet for the 34th time:TAKE ADVANTAGE: Washington can gain ground in the CFP rankings. The Huskies have already gotten help with Houston knocking off Louisville -- No. 5 in the CFP rankings -- meaning a win over the Sun Devils should move the Huskies to the cusp of the top four.Last week, Clemson had lost before the Huskies even took the field against USC yet Washington was unable to capitalize on the opportunity.SACK ATTACK: Arizona State allowed 11 sacks and 22 tackles for loss last week against Utah as the Sun Devils offensive line was unable to protect quarterback Manny Wilkins. Thats good news for Washington, which has just four sacks in four games since losing sack leader Joe Mathis to a foot injury in mid-October.EXPLOSIVE PLAYS: The big play has been a key for Washington all season and a vulnerability for Arizona State. The Huskies were held to just three plays of 20 yards or more against USC, one of those from Ross on their first offensive play. Arizona State gave up big plays against Utah with the Utes scoring four touchdowns of 20 yards or more.STEPPING IN: D.J. Beavers is expected to start at middle linebacker for Washington after leading tackler Azeem Victor was lost for the remainder of the regular season with a broken bone in his lower right leg. Beavers took over last week after Victor was injured and had six tackles but the Trojans also exposed his inexperience at times.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 .
