AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Gordon Hayward piled up 25 points, eight rebounds and six assists and the Utah Jazz began a four-game road trip with a convincing 97-83 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night at The Palace.

George Hill supplied 17 points for the Jazz (43-25), who have won six of their last seven games. Rudy Gobert added 12 points, nine rebounds and a career high-tying five assists while Joe Johnson and Joe Ingles also tossed in 12 points apiece.

Ish Smith's 16 points led the Pistons (33-35), who were coming off a 32-point loss at Cleveland on Tuesday. Aron Baynes posted 12 points and 12 rebounds and Tobias Harris chipped in 12 points.

Baynes recorded his first double-double since Jan. 23 last season against Denver.

The Jazz finished the first half on a 13-2 run and grabbed a 54-35 halftime lead. Utah shot 51.3 percent from the field and made half of its 16 3-point tries while Detroit shot 34.1 percent.

The Pistons' offensive futility included back-to-back shot-clock violations late in the first quarter. Their seven first-half turnovers resulted in 16 Utah points.

Utah nudged the lead to 23 points at 72-49 late in the third with an Alec Burks jumper. The Pistons then finished the quarter with a 13-5 spurt to make it 77-62 heading into the fourth.

Boban Marjanovic's layup with 6:32 left cut Detroit's deficit to single digits at 82-73. The Pistons' rally stalled at that point. Ingles' 3-pointer with 2:56 remaining gave Utah a 92-78 advantage and ended any remaining suspense.
