When Royce O'Neale pulled up for a three-pointer in transition late in the fourth quarter of last night's game, Rudy Gobert ran to the paint to position himself for a potential rebound. When the ball bounced off the rim, Gobert — with one arm being held by Los Angeles forward Keon Johnson — grabbed the rebound with his right hand and threw down an emphatic dunk in one motion.
He then let out a roar to the rafters of Vivint Arena as the crowd stood and screamed in approval — and for good reason. Gobert's dunk capped a 16-2 run as Utah took down the Clippers 124-103 for their eighth consecutive win, tied for the second-longest streak in the league.
