When Utah needed him most, Rudy Gobert showed up in a big way.
After struggling with the officiating and the physical nature of Sacramento’s big men, Gobert took matters into his own hands and showed why he’s not just the reigning defensive player of the year but an all-NBA type of talent.
Gobert finished strong with his second consecutive double-double as Utah came from behind to win 110-101 over the Kings on Friday night in Sacramento.
“First off, Rudy took it upon himself, you know to be stronger because he didn’t finish strong in the beginning,” Donovan Mitchell said of his teammate.
