Thanksgiving may still be less than one week away — but for Utah basketball fans, Christmas came early.
Ever since Rudy Gay signed with the Jazz on August 6, much talk has been made how the 16-year veteran would add another dimension to the team on both ends of the court.
After one month of waiting while he recovered from offseason heel surgery, Gay had a dazzling debut for Utah on Thursday night against Toronto, helping the Jazz defeat the Raptors 119-103.
In 18 minutes and 27 seconds of game time, he scored a team-high 20 points (7-of-8 shooting), grabbed five rebounds, dished out two assists, and finished with a +14 rating.
