BROOKLYN — Earlier in the day, Trevor Booker had bragged on Twitter that he was going to dunk on Rudy Gobert Monday night.
Booker never did that, but the former Jazzman did plenty of damage against his old team Monday night, leading his new team with 17 points and 15 rebounds at the Barclays Center. The problem was he didn’t get enough help from his teammates as the Brooklyn fell to the Jazz 101-89.
Booker came out with a vengeance against the Jazz, getting nine points and seven rebounds in the first quarter and thoroughly outplaying Derrick Favors.
