#10. 11/19 Utah vs. Houston

The Jazz came into this bout against the Rockets on a three-game winning streak and managed to still fly high as they absolutely burned the nets from deep to run the Rockets out of Vivint Smart Home Arena with a 120-101 win.

Utah went a stunning 15-of-28 (.536) from behind the arc on a well-balanced night that saw five players score in double figures as the Jazz knocked off one of the top teams in the West. Gordon Hayward put up a then season-high 31 points and Rudy Gobert was dynamite with 16 points, 14 rebounds and an epic rejection of Nene for one of his three blocks.

This incredible blowout win was one of Utah’s finest of the early season as they were able to dominate nearly the entire game on both ends of the floor. Wins over teams of the Rockets’ caliber have since been somewhat hard to come by so there’s no questioning this was a memorable one.
