Five Things: All-Stars Take Over Late

Friday night against the pesky Timberwolves proved once again that when the Jazz needed them most, Mitchell and Gobert put on their capes and rose to the occasion.

After blowing a 13-point halftime lead, Utah trailed Minnesota by one entering the fourth quarter.

Playing shorthanded with Mike Conley and Joe Ingles out for the night, the Jazz faced an uphill climb against a team that swept them last season.

Even with the all-star Conley out resting, Utah still had two more all-star to turn to — and they showed up in a big way. Donovan Mitchell dropped 14 points in the fourth quarter, Rudy Gobert was dominant defensively, and the Jazz used a 22-0 fourth quarter run to beat Minnesota 120-108 on Friday night.
