On Saturday night, the Utah Jazz (3-3) had five men with at least 13 points and at least 11 shot attempts each. That very much fits in with the team’s mantra — they’re unselfish and they share on offense.
But the most surprising thing about the five players who carried the lion’s share of the offense in the 96-81 win over the Los Angeles Lakers: Rudy Gobert was not among them.
It was a difficult offensive night for the All-NBA center, who rarely touched the ball on offense and managed only five shots for the evening. His six points were hard-fought: Only one basket was assisted, and the other two came off of offensive rebounds.
