We’ve made it. The Utah Jazz have played a real, (somewhat) meaningful basketball game for the first time in months.
The game, an 86-107 victory for Utah against the OKC Thunder, was one that showcased a familiar Jazz team with familiar performances from its players. Rudy Gobert recorded a monster double-double, taking advantage of Oklahoma’s smaller, less experienced big men. Donovan Mitchell flipped a switch in the second half, dicing up the Thunder’s perimeter players and creating scoring opportunities for others. Off the bench, the usual suspects of Joe Ingles and Jordan Clarkson provided great production, carrying their unit.
