Its not about not playing defense when the cpu ai is the defender also and Trey Burke isnt running a single play and keeps attacking the paint along with teammates and making a high % of his shots with a much bigger man in him.

I played the Jazz tonight.
The settings were HoF difficulty, simulation sliders, default rosters and default coaching settings, with 6-minute quarters.
As you can see I found Utah to be a handful on HoF difficulty but I didn't exactly see what you are seeing.
Utah had 28 points in the paint out of 54 total, on 51 percent shooting.
Trey Burke was 4-9 with two threes. His other two makes were a layup and a floater, and he also drew a foul somewhere in there. I played man-to-man defense, using on ball defense. I didn't double team him or anything like that.
Unfortunately I'm not set up to do video so I have to make do with the pictures for now, but I just want to say that it is possible to contain the CPU, even though it is very difficult.
It does take both patience AND stick skills, and the trouble is there are not a lot of video game players who have both.
I saw the Jazz run a bunch of plays for Hayward, I saw them post up quite a bit, and sometimes Burke freelanced, like when he was isolated against a big. Once he got matched up with Jeff Green and the team cleared out and Burke iso'd him. Using Green I was able to stay with Burke and got a block (without hitting triangle, just L2) that led to a fast break bucket the other way.
I noticed that one time the Jazz were running a play, with Burke at the top of the key, and when I tried a steal with Rondo, Burke immediately broke the play and drove for the hoop and scored on the floater. This is intelligent AI and it's how the CPU takes advantage of over-aggressive players.
My advice is to go through a game and not use any of the buttons on the controller face. No square, no triangle. Try playing defense with just the sticks and L2 and R2. You'll see a huge difference.
