After some dicey wins and frustrating losses, the Utah Jazz were in need of a dominating effort to regain some lost momentum. They gave us exactly this against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.
The team played phenomenal defense and team basketball with 29 assists. And with the win, this Jazz team continues to have a ton of fun.
Despite stellar defense on Karl-Anthony Towns from Derrick Favors (and some help from Rudy Gobert), the star of the game was Ricky Rubio, playing against his former team.
Ricky Rubio goes full Inigo Montoya
Ousted from Minnesota last summer to make room for Jeff Teague, Ricky “Pass-First Point Guard” Rubio put on a 3-point shooting clinic in a monumental win over the division rival Timberwolves.
