With 7 minutes, 24 seconds left in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Utah Jazz, one of basketball’s more remarkable streaks appeared to suddenly end. Rudy Gobert, he of the 9-foot, 9-inch standing reach, took a flying swipe at a Stephen Curry 3-pointer. It’s difficult to definitively discern whether that swat altered the ball’s trajectory, but the shot airballed wide right. Gobert motioned to the scorer’s table that he blocked it, but he wasn’t credited. After the game, Gobert reiterated that he blocked the shot.
