SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Joe Ingles passed Pistol Pete Maravich for 7th in career assists in Utah Jazz history in the first quarter against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Rudy Gobert set a screen for Ingles. As the Australian went around the screen, Gobert cut. Ingles had the option to keep the ball or dish off to Gobert. He opted to throw a quick under-hand pass to the slashing Frenchman, who finished with a right-handed dunk.
