The Utah Jazz rebounded from an exhausting, nerve wracking win over the Toronto Raptors with an energetic, focused brand of basketball by defeating the San Antonio Spurs Monday night by the score of 110-99.

Led by the Rudy Gobert, the odds on favorite for the 2020-21 Defensive Player of the Year award, the Utah Jazz stifled the Spurs early in the contest, allowing an offensive rating of just 100.
