This could be a long 4-6 weeks. The Utah Jazz in their second game without Rudy Gobert—and first one against a playoff team—took a shellacking from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Timberwolves took full advantage of a Jazz team missing their premier rim protector. The Timberwolves feasted in the paint and Karl Anthony-Towns had a heyday totaling 24 points and 13 rebounds.
The Utah Jazz staged a late comeback in the 4th quarter led by the strong efforts of Donovan Mitchell, Raul Neto, and Jonas Jerebko on the offensive end and defensive efforts of Ekpe Udoh and Donovan Mitchell.
