Utah Jazz Down Knicks Behind Gobert’s Career Night

March 22, 2017 was a great night to be a Utah Jazz fan. The 1997 Western Conference Finals team was reunited and honored at halftime in what was truly a special evening for the Jazz organization and fans everywhere. Aside from the half-time festivities and comments from former Jazz PG and Hall of Famer John Stockton, it was an interesting game of basketball being played on the hardwood.

The Jazz gave up 34 first-quarter points to the struggling Knicks and could not seem to find any type of defensive rhythm early on.
