This made the game closer than it needed to be. But Utah was turning the ball over plenty, and when they didn’t they weren’t making a lot of easy shots (I see you Dante Exum and your great drives but close misses at the rim). And, #Spoiler warning, he totally dominated him. Rudy Gobert was clearly motivated to win his match-up against All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins. After an early Quin Snyder timeout Utah went on an immediate 13-1 run to take the lead. The Kings started off taking advantage of all the Jazz sloppy play, and rushed off to an 11-0 advantage from tip-off. Tonight’s game was, more than others, a game of runs. The Utah Jazz (15-10) took care of business tonight, eventually thrashing the Sacramento Kings (8-15) 104-84.
