We usually think about runs in basketball from an offensive point of view: Steph Curry and the Warriors hitting three after three, or one player taking over a game through huge shotmaking, or a team effort just destroying a particular flaw in the opponent.
But the Jazz go on defensive runs. Once again, they proved it tonight by allowing just 35 points in 49 possessions for just a 71 defensive rating in the second half, shutting the Pistons nearly completely down. And just as Steph Curry or LeBron James might be the leader of an offensive run, Rudy Gobert was the leader of the defensive efforts for the Jazz in that second half.
