Jazz subtly trolled Gordon Hayward after block, and Utah fans loved it

Share

Revenge is a dish best enjoyed on Twitter.

The Utah Jazz handled the Boston Celtics 98-86 at TD Garden on Saturday night, a victory made sweeter by the fact that it came against Gordon Hayward, who bolted from Salt Lake City to sign with the C's in free agency last summer.

Hayward tallied just seven points in 26 minutes of action and had one of his shots blocked at the rim by Jazz star Donovan Mitchell.

Considering the circumstances, it should surprise no one that Utah's Twitter account wasted zero time sharing this moment with its fans.

After the Jazz posted a second video of Mitchell's block on Hayward, Utah fans came out of the woodwork to join in the Hayward schadenfreude.

You get the idea.

The Jazz will have bragging rights over Hayward and the C's for quite some time, as Saturday's win completed their two-game series sweep of Boston.
