The Utah Jazz took their first L.
Rudy Gobert just hopes that L stands for “lesson”.
A sloppy first half put the Jazz in a hole they couldn’t dig themselves out of, as they fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves 116-111 in Saturday’s home-opener. Afterward, the team’s All-Star center said he hoped the loss would serve as an early wake-up call.
“It’s good that we have one now because we’re going to have to realize that we have to come out with same intensity and same urgency every night,” Gobert said.
The Timberwolves had the Jazz on their heels early at Vivint Arena.
