11/29-12/3

11/29 Utah vs. Houston

The Utah Jazz looked like a completely different team than when they took on the Rockets in Houston the week prior as they were on fire from deep and ran away with a convincing win. Again, there were a ton of highlights to choose from and lots of clutch threes, but the way Rudy Gobert flat-out stifled Nene at the rim was just too impressive to not include here.

12/1 Utah vs. Miami

George Hill’s return to action was unfortunately very short lived as he suffered a sprained toe in the win against the Rockets. Perhaps the Jazz had grown too accustomed to having him around because they were simply unable to take care of business against the Heat. Gordon Hayward did have this awesome spin move to score though, so perhaps that can be a bit of a silver lining for you.

12/3 Utah vs. Denver

For the third time in two weeks, the Utah Jazz found themselves matched up once more against the Denver Nuggets and, despite a furious comeback attempt, the Jazz managed to stave them off for the win, thanks largely to some lockdown defense, such as this incredible Rudy Gobert block at the rim.
