The Utah Jazz overcame a 19-point halftime deficit to beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-117 on Wednesday night, powered by a career-high 41 points from guard Talen Horton-Tucker.

The Jazz trailed by as many as 22 points in the second quarter, but Horton-Tucker sparked a remarkable comeback with his offensive brilliance. He scored 17 points in the fourth quarter alone, including a key three-pointer with 1:27 remaining in the fourth quarter to help seal the victory.

Horton-Tucker was 9-of-17 from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range. He also added eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in the victory.

Center Rudy Gobert added 19 points, 15 rebounds and three blocks while guard Mike Conley chipped in with 17 points and six assists.

The Spurs were led by forward Keldon Johnson, who had a team-high 23 points. DeMar DeRozan added 20 points and seven assists and Lonnie Walker IV scored 17 points in the loss.

The win was an impressive one for the Jazz, who trailed by double digits for most of the game. But thanks to Horton-Tucker's career-high performance, they were able to storm back and take the win. The Jazz now sit at 12-4 on the season and are firmly in the hunt for a top seed in the Western Conference.
