ORLANDO — It was fitting that the Utah Jazz kicked off the NBA’s resumption of the 2019-20 season in the bubble. It was fitting that the opponent was the New Orleans Pelicans. And it was fitting that in order to win, the Jazz needed Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell to shine as a duo in the final moments.
“Life works in mysterious ways,” Gobert said after the Jazz’s 106-104 win on Thursday.
