With multiple starters for the Minnesota Timberwolves out for Covid protocols, the Utah Jazz won with relative ease, 128-116.
Despite missing Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards the Timberwolves still put up a fight forcing the Jazz to play their main rotation guys all night. Malike Beasley had a very strong showing scoring 33 points shooting 52% from the field and 43% from three. Naz Reid and D’Angelo Russell also had their moments but it wasn’t near enough to keep up with the full-strength Jazz.
For Utah, Rudy Gobert had a dominating night. Without Towns to keep Gobert out of the paint, the Wolves struggled to score anything at the rim.
