RUDY GOBERT DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR
14 of last 17 games Jazz defense rating at 101 or below
26 of Gobert’s 38 games defense has been 101 or below (68% of games)
The Jazz fell short in the second half as the Toronto defense shut the new-look Jazz down in route to cruising to an 114 – 82 Raptors victory. Lauri Markkanen shined for the Jazz with 20 points and 5 rebounds but the Raptors length and athleticism proved to be too much for the Jazz riding a dominant 3rd quarter to pull away from the Jazz who played well in the first half, only trailing by one.
