SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — The Utah Jazz leaned on their tough defense to keep their win streak alive.
Rudy Gobert had 18 points, 19 rebounds and four blocked shots, and the Jazz beat the New York Knicks 108-94 on Tuesday night for their ninth consecutive victory.
“We did a lot of good things that didn’t show up on the scoreboard,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. “People talk about winning ugly and tonight ugly was pretty.”
Royce O’Neale scored a career-high 20 points, helping Utah overcome a quiet night for Donovan Mitchell.
