Rudy Gobert, reflecting on his return to SLC: “It was hard for me to really go through all the emotions because I was so focused on the game. But hearing all the love, the fans … it was a little emotional. … The fans booing me a little at the free-throw line, I respect.” pic.twitter.com/Q1dd96ca3b – 12:05 AM

Tremendous win for the Wolves in Utah. A great first half, and a big-time answer when Utah rallied in the second half.
Russell: 20 of his 30 in the 4th
Gobert: 22 and 13
Anderson: 15p, 12a (!!!!), 7r – 11:21 PM

Malik Beasley and Rudy Gobert get into each other’s faces after the final buzzer (presumably because Gobert scored an unguarded basket at the end after the game was already over) and then Jarred Vanderbilt pushed Gobert away. All broken up. Hmmmm. – 11:20 PM

End 3Q: Wolves 82, Jazz 79. Utah had it momentarily tied, but still — their ultimate 33-21 advantage in the quarter did some heavy lifting. Beasley has 18p and JC has 17 for the Jazz. Gobert 14/11 for Minnesota. – 10:50 PM

Minnesota up 61-46 at the half.
Rudy Gobert is shutting down the paint for the Jazz — who still, at halftime, have only taken 2 shots at the rim. As a result, the top-5 Jazz offense is only putting up a 95 ORtg. – 10:08 PM

When Gobert was on the Jazz, I was always watching to see his game-day or travel outfits when it was particularly cold or snowy because I was always impressed by him having jackets that fit his arms (7’9 wingspan).
That’s an impressive coat. – 3:59 PM

Eric Walden: Rudy Gobert, on the late dunk and subsequent scrum: “I’ve been taught to play basketball to the last second. For me, there was never any intent to disrespect anybody.

Eric Walden: Rudy Gobert still has enough love for Utah that he’s not planning to sell his house here: “I’ve built so much amazing relationships here over the years. … I hope to be able to come back when I can. … I would rent it if I know someone that I like and that I trust!” pic.twitter.com/B9AbMahyTF -via Twitter @tribjazz / December 10, 2022
With 13 seconds left, Kelly Olynyk inbounded the ball to Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who worked his way around Moses Moody and drove to the hoop for what looked to be a wide-open layup. But Alexander-Walker passed the ball to Malik Beasley, who was all alone in the right corner after losing Klay Thompson. Beasley knocked down a 3-pointer, bringing the game within one with 7.8 seconds left. “I just fell asleep,” Thompson said. “I watched the ball handler get to the rim rather than sticking on the 3-point shooter. That was a dreadful mistake by myself.” -via ESPN / December 8, 2022
Utah has so far signaled an intent to keep breakout star forward Lauri Markkanen plus franchise favorite Jordan Clarkson, and have established a high asking price for Jarred Vanderbilt, sources told Yahoo Sports, leaving Malik Beasley and Kelly Olynyk, along with Conley, as the obvious veterans the Jazz could move before the Feb. 9 trade deadline. Olynyk is known to be a favorite of Ainge. -via Yahoo! Sports / November 23, 2022
Have you thought about your future in Utah since they have a team option on you for next season? Malik Beasley: I would love for them to pick that option up for me to continue my journey here in Utah. If not, then I’ve got to make the best of it. I’m very thankful for this landing spot since I came here. There are a lot of great people here in Utah and a great fan base. I think it’s the perfect opportunity to show I’m a changed man in Utah. It’s a place where big-name players usually wouldn’t come here, but I don’t know why. Once you come out here, you’ll have a great time. -via HoopsHype / November 23, 2022
