“I felt strong, I feel great,” Rudy Gobert said of his calf injury. “I did some pretty explosive movement without thinking about it. I didn’t have any extra pain.”

Rudy Gobert: “Our energy is different. That slump that we had really sparked something. We’re playing like a team that’s trying to accomplish something. Regardless of who we’re playing, we’re going to bring the same mentality.” – 12:09 AM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Rudy Gobert said the energy was different than it was before his injury.
“That stretch that we had sparked something.” – 12:09 AM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Rudy Gobert on his techs: “I just think both of them could have been non-technical fouls. I didn’t feel like I disrespected any official. I didn’t feel like I made any non-basketball play.” – 12:07 AM David Locke @DLocke09

Jazz beat Rockets 135-101.
Mitchell: 30 points, 6 rebs, 7 assists.
Gobert: 14/7/2, a +19.
Bogdanovic: 22/5/2.
Easy win throughout. Jazz play in L.A. against the Lakers on Wednesday. – 11:26 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Jazz 135, Rockets 101. Six straight wins, now 36-21 on the season. Don 30p/7a/6r. Bogey 22p/5r. JC 16p/3a. Gobert 14p/7r. Juancho with a 3. NAW still scoreless as a Jazz. Rockets 14-42 in 2H. Utah’s final game before ASB is at Staples (yeah, I know) vs. Lakers on Wed. – 11:25 PM Adam Spolane @AdamSpolane
Is it me or does Rudy Gobert always get ejected against the Rockets? – 11:11 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Rudy Gobert was ejected – 11:09 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
So they called a foul on Sengun, and then a technical on Gobert for the throwdown after the play. It, uh, has been extremely unusually officiated. – 11:09 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Rudy Gobert gets his second tech and is ejected. Some strange techs tonight. – 11:09 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Rudy Gobert has been tossed after getting his second technical foul.
Which in this game doesn’t mean anything. – 11:09 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Rudy Gobert was assessed a second tech and ejected – 11:08 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Rudy Gobert was ejected from this game for his second technical… – 11:08 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Been so quiet in here most of the night, it seemed Jazz fans missed the Harden-era Rockets as much as Rockets fans. Then a couple calls went against Gobert (pretty obvious on the replays that were shown) and they were back. – 11:07 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 100-78 after 3Q. Story of this game is essentially that the Jazz played really well in Rudy Gobert’s return to action on both ends of the floor. He remains a +23 in his 16 minutes. – 10:56 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Sengun took a shot to the throat. Called a technical foul on Rudy Gobert. Rockets let Sengun take the T since he earned it. (Looked like he did not know anyone could take it, though he was the one hit.) – 10:54 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Gobert just glared at the official on that over the back and said “CALL THAT SHIT”…. – 10:33 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Jazz lead 78-53 at the half.
Jazz outscored the Rockets by 23 in the 9 minutes Rudy Gobert played.
Mitchell has 15 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds — though I doubt he plays enough minutes in the 2nd half to seriously challenge for the elusive triple-double. – 10:12 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
HALFTIME: Jazz 78, Rockets 53. All I wanted was for Utah to get to 80+ and to lead by 30+ by the break, but they continue to disappoint.
More seriously … Bogey 15p, Don 15p/7a/4r, Rudy Gobert a +23 in 9:02 of action. – 10:12 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
‘Dok getting the second quarter non-Gobert minutes. – 9:52 PM David Locke @DLocke09
The score is 27 to 2 when Rudy Gobert is on the floor. Nice to have the 3 time all-star, 3 time DPOY back on the floor – 9:49 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
16-0 run from the Jazz as they open up a 47-24 lead. Rudy Gobert is still really really good. – 9:48 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz are a +22 in 6:19 of Rudy Gobert time so far – 9:46 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Gobert looks terrific so far – 9:46 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 36-24 after 1Q. Jazz are on pace to win this game by 48 and yet I thought they played about half of a good quarter there. But when they were on — really, the Gobert minutes — they were great. – 9:44 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
The Whiteside minutes have not gone as well as the Gobert minutes. – 9:29 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Whiteside is the Jazz’s backup center after Gobert’s return. (As expected, but some said might be Dok) – 9:23 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Jazz jump out to a 14-2 lead over the Rockets. Bogey with 8 quick points as the Rockets defense looks pretty lost.
Gobert has 4 points and Conley and Mitchell both have 3 assists. – 9:21 PM Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
Once again, Gobert opens on Tate. And again, he leaves him open to shoot from deep. – 9:14 PM Adam Wexler @AdamJWexler

He is on pace to become the 4th player in NBA history to average 15/10 on 65% shooting in a season — joining Wilt Chamberlain, Artis Gilmore and Rudy Gobert. pic.twitter.com/UrlwxtbbIW – 4:39 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
