A sluggish first half brought back nightmares of Utah's last game against Minnesota (a 107-80 loss on March 1), but the Jazz came alive in the second half to take down the Timberwolves 120-113 Friday night.
The Jazz (49-30) overcame a huge free-throw discrepancy and foul trouble by Rudy Gobert to escape with the victory, and they currently sit in fourth place in the Western Conference standings (one game ahead of the LA Clippers).
Gordon Hayward set a new career-high with 39 points, while Gobert added 16 points, five rebounds and two blocks in only 27 minutes.
