Chicago, IL (SportsNetwork.com) - Derrick Favors scored 14 of his 20 points in the second half, and the Utah Jazz dominated the final two quarters en route to a startling 97-77 road rout of the Chicago Bulls. Favors added 11 rebounds and Trey Burke deposited 17 points -- 12 of which came after halftime -- in a game where the Jazz outscored a cold-shooting Bulls squad by a 61-45 count after intermission. Gordon Hayward contributed 18 points to the win, Utahs fifth in its last seven away outings. Trevor Booker chipped in 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench, with Rudy Gobert recording a double-double of 11 points and 14 rebounds for the Jazz. As much as anything, weve had a better focus (of late), said Jazz head coach Quin Snyder. Sometimes weve had it for a quarter and not for the next quarter. We were focused more than not tonight. Chicago entered the matchup 10-1 in its previous 11 games, but shot a poor 33.3 percent to seal its fate. Derrick Rose particularly struggled, going 3- of-15 from the field while managing only seven points. I dont wont to overreact, but I dont want to under-react either, Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said afterward. You always ask yourselves before you start, theres two questions: did you play hard enough and did you execute properly? The readiness to play, that part is really my responsibility. I didnt like that part of it at all. Jimmy Butler led the Bulls with 16 points and 11 rebounds, while Taj Gibson tallied 15 points in the loss. The teams were deadlocked at 32-32 entering the final minute of an offensively challenged opening half in which neither shot better than 36 percent. Favors fed Gobert for an alley-oop dunk that preceded a Burke putback, however, sending the Jazz into the break up by four. Utah then caught fire in the third quarter, hitting five of its first seven shots and stringing together a 13-3 run that put Chicago at a 49-37 deficit. The Bulls scored the next nine points, highlighted by back-to-back Rose layups, to get within three, but made just two more field goals over the remainder of the quarter as the Jazz began to pull away. Favors netted six points in the last 1:38 of the third to stake Utah to a 63-51 lead entering the final frame, and the Jazz kept rolling from there. Utah opened the fourth on a 16-3 tear, with Booker and Burke accounting for five points each, to claim a commanding 79-54 lead with 8:17 remaining. We played really, really well tonight, I think everybody did, Hayward said. Rudy was a monster for us defensively. The Jazz were ahead by as many as eight points in the first half, owning a 24-16 edge just over a minute into the second quarter as Chicago struggled to both hit shots and hold onto the ball. The Jazz then went scoreless for more than five minutes, enabling the Bulls to move in front with a 9-0 surge.

Specifically, they will have to stop Jon Cornish. Watch the Stampeders vs. Tiger-Cats live tonight at 6pm et/3pm pt on TSN and TSN Mobile TV. "What the run game allows them to do is obviously control the clock and keep your offence off the football field," said Ticat head coach Kent Austin on Friday. For the Ticats, Austin said that means being "more efficient" on first downs, and making sure they can sustain long drives. Otherwise, it may be a while before they get the ball back. While the Ticats under Henry Burris have a league-leading passing attack, throwing for 322.8 yards per game, its ground game is lacking. The Ticats have only rushed for an average 84.2 yards per game, second last in the CFL. The Ticat passing game will also face the challenge of operating without its leading receiver, Greg Ellingson, who is reportedly out with a lower-body injury. He will be replaced by rookie Luke Tasker, who was just signed on Sept. 17 and whose father is former Buffalo Bills pro-bowler Steve Tasker. Meanwhile, the Stamps have a more balanced attack, thanks largely to Cornish who is the CFLs second-leading rusher with 1,093 yards to date. Calgary is fifth in average passing yards (263 yards per game) and second in rushing (132 yards per game). Former Ticat Kevin Glenn is back as the starting quarterback for Calgary, in a season where the Stamps have had to rely on all three of its pivots. Glenn spent three years in Hamilton before being traded to Calgary in January 2012. But while Ticat linebacker Jamall Johnson agreed that he may know Glenns tendencies better than most, stopping Cornish is the priority. "First of all, weve got to stop the run," Johnson said. "I think everything they (Calgary) do revolvess around their running back and their running game.dddddddddddd" Calgary (9-3) has already clinched a playoff berth and sits atop the West Division, one game ahead of B.C. and Saskatchewan heading into this week. They are coming off last weeks 33-27 loss to the Toronto Argonauts. Hamilton (6-6) is second in the East Division, behind Toronto, and is hoping to continue the momentum from a 28-26 victory over the Montreal Alouettes in Moncton. "Right now, just to get on a roll, I think thats the biggest psychological thing that could happen right now because you want to start to peak at the right time," said Burris, who spent a combined 10 years as the Stampeder quarterback before coming to Hamilton and currently leads the league with 3,765 passing yards. The two offences are evenly matched. Calgary is second in the CFL with an average of 377.2 yards per game and Hamilton is third with 375.3 yards per game. The defences are also close in numbers. Calgary is fourth in the league, having allowed 337.4 yards per game while the Hamilton defence is fifth with 359.3 yards allowed. But the Calgary defence also boasts a couple weapons of which Burris, in particular, will have to be aware. They have two of the leagues top-three sack leaders with Charleston Hughes (13) and Cordarro Law (nine), and Fred Bennett has three interceptions, tied for tops in the CFL. The Stamps and the Ticats met in Calgary on Sept. 13 with Calgary squeaking out a 26-22 victory when back-up quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell hit former Ticat receiver Marquay McDaniel for a 15-yard TD late in the fourth. Austin blames mistakes made late in the game that allowed the Stamps to come back. "We left the door open for them and good football teams will take advantage of that," he said. "Youve got to close off a good football team because they will find a way to win." ' ' '
