CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Only a few games into the season, the Utah Jazz are being attacked ruthlessly by the injury bug. And its taking down one starter after another.First, it was Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors. Hayward broke his finger and missed six games to open the season. Favors sat out the opener and played under a minutes restriction in subsequent games while dealing with knee and IT band soreness.Hayward and Favors are back, but Boris Diaw and George Hill are sidelined. Diaw has missed five games with a right leg contusion and Hill sat out Utahs 104-89 victory over Philadelphia on Monday night while recovering from a sprained thumb he injured against New York a day earlier.Still, the Jazz are finding a way to survive and thrive on their five-game road trip. Utah beat the Knicks and the Sixers on back-to-back nights and hope to make it three straight when they face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.It speaks to our inner drive a little bit, because we have some expectations for ourselves this year, Hayward said following the win over the Sixers. Youve got to take care of these games.Hayward certainly hasnt been lacking drive since his return. He has averaged 24.0 points during the road trip after making his season debut against the Knicks. The Jazz forward hasnt been alone in his efforts.Favors had his best game to date this season at Philadelphia. He finished with season highs of 16 points and 14 rebounds and added three blocked shots. It has taken a while, but Favors is starting to look like himself on the court again.Im still not 100 percent yet, but Im getting there, Favors said. Im getting comfortable out there, starting to get my rhythm back, starting to get my explosiveness back.Charlotte comes into Wednesdays game with plenty of positive momentum. The Hornets started fast in a 122-100 victory over Indiana. They unloaded 43 points in the first quarter after scoring on their first 12 possessions.It marks the third consecutive win for Charlotte (5-1) and has helped the team get off to its best start in franchise history.You have to like what we can become, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. Its still hard for me to get a definitive idea of how good this team can be, because we havent had our full team together, but I love what were doing. I love this team. I love where we are. I love our attitude and the way we practice.Kemba Walker is a major driving force behind Charlottes early success. Walker ranks 11th among NBA players in scoring, averaging 24.3 points per game. He is shooting a career-best 49 percent from the field and a career-best 48.7 percent from 3-point range.The Hornets are also creating success by playing smart basketball. Charlotte enters Wednesdays game against Utah averaging 11.3 turnovers per game -- the fewest of any NBA team.Charlotte split the season series each of the last two seasons with Utah, winning both games at home.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland stepped into Big Ten play with a dominant performance that showcased its balance and depth.Ty Johnson ran for 204 yards on seven carries, and the unbeaten Terrapins breezed past Purdue 50-7 Saturday to provide DJ Durkin a satisfying victory in his first conference game as a college head coach.The Terrapins (4-0, 1-0) scored four touchdowns and amassed 293 yards in taking a 29-0 halftime lead. Maryland finished with 400 yards rushing and outgained the Boilermakers 496-205 overall.Its hard to stop, tough to defend, Durkin said of coordinator Walt Bells no-huddle offense , which has scored a school record 173 points over its first four games.Purdue (2-2, 0-1) had no answer.They came out and made plays we werent able to stop, defensive tackle Jake Replogle said.Taking over at Maryland after serving as Michigans defensive coordinator in 2015, Durkin has the Terrapins operating at a high level on both sides of the ball.Perry Hills threw two touchdown passes to Teldrick Morgan and ran for an 11-yard score. Johnson peeled off a 76-yard run and scored on carries of 8 and 48 yards, and Lorenzo Harrison chipped in with a 62-yard touchdown sprint.Our line did a heck of a job making the blocks and the running backs made some great cuts, Hills said.The defense sacked David Blough six times. The Boilermakers were ranked second in the nation in third-down conversions (59 percent), but in this game they went 6 for 20.Its a nice way to open our Big Ten season, said Terps defensive end Roman Braglio, who was credited with 2 1/2 sacks. We have a goal this year and were trying very, very hard to achieve. Its going to be hard to stop us.It was 36-0 before Purdue finally scored, on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Blough to Cole Herdman with 13:30 remaining.I think that we can without a doubt compete in the Big Ten, up front and physically, guard Jordan Roos said. They were just better than us today. Youve got to beat the guy in front of you, and it didnt happen today.Coming off two straight 300-yard games, Blough was limited to 46 yards passing before halftime and finished 18-for-41 for 132 yards.dddddddddddd.The Boilermakers were guilty of a variety of ill-timed penalties, poor tackling and shoddy blocking by the offensive line.`You cant lament. Youve got to figure out what your issues are, every single one us, coach Darrell Hazell said. If we dont, it can get worse. But were not going to let it get worse.Even when the Terrapins made mistakes of their own, Purdue couldnt capitalize. Maryland hadnt committed a turnover all year until Hills threw an interception on the opening series. The Terrapins subsequently jumped offside on third down, but Purdues J.D. Dellinger was wide right on a 35-yard field goal try.The defense did a fantastic job all day, Hills said. They really bailed us out a couple times.Maryland promptly moved 80 yards in six plays, then fooled the Boilermakers with an unbalanced formation on the 2-point conversion.On Purdues next series, an illegal formation wiped out a successful third-down play and forced a punt. Not long after that, Harrison burst up the middle on his 62-yard run.Johnsons first touchdown made it 22-0.Desperate for a spark, Hazell opted to for it on a fourth down from the Boilermakers 32. They made it, but it merely delayed Marylands next touchdown.POLL IMPLICATIONSAfter this surprisingly lopsided victory, Maryland might receive a few votes in the AP Top 25 poll as the list of unbeaten teams in the nation continues to dwindle. Then again, the Terrapins victories have come against Howard, Florida International, Central Florida and a Purdue team playing its first road game.UP NEXTPurdue: The Boilermakers travel to Illinois for a West Division matchup Saturday. The Illini lost to Nebraska 31-16 on Saturday.Maryland: The Terrapins take a short trip north to face Penn State and former Maryland assistant coach James Franklin. ' ' '
