Rudy Gobert wasn’t worried. Two days after Minnesota big man Karl-Anthony Towns’ 3-point shooting hurt the Jazz in Salt Lake City, Gobert was sitting courtside after shootaround on Towns’ court, ready to settle the score.
“I think if we keep doing what we do a little better,” Gobert said, “it’s going to be a different game.”
Right he was.
The Utah Jazz bounced back with a 103-95 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night at Target Center. And give Gobert plenty of credit. The center had 12 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks while helping limit Towns to 14 points.
