When Rudy Gobert and Mike Conley are on the basketball court, good things tend to happen.
The Utah Jazz center and point guard atop the NBA’s plus-minus leaderboard this season, Nos. 1 and 2 respectively. And the gap between the two Jazz All-Stars and the rest of the league only got wider Monday night.
Gobert and Conley watched nearly all of the fourth quarter of the Jazz’s 114-75 blowout win over Cleveland from the bench. Gobert had 18 points, 17 rebounds and four blocks. Conley finished with 18 points (16 of them in the third quarter), five assists and four boards.
