Three thoughts on the Utah Jazz’s 103-95 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves from Salt Lake Tribune Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen.
But tonight, especially so. Rudy Gobert had a unique assignment tonight. He had to
1. Take away Karl-Anthony Towns’ 3-point game, because he shoots 43.5% on those
3. When they screened to get Towns open, switch if necessary to prevent Towns from shooting threes. Note: this does mean Gobert has to guard smalls.
4. When Towns was stationed outside, still protect the rim on drivers like Andrew Wiggins and Jarrett Culver
And he did all of it.
