SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert showed the Sacramento Kings why he is the three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
Early in their game on Tuesday night against the Kings, Rudy Gobert had a tremendous block. Donovan Mitchell missed a three-point attempt when Sacramento got the rebound and went the other way.
Tyrese Haliburton passed the ball ahead to Richaun Holmes when Gobert met him at the rim and blocked his dunk attempt.

The Jazz missed a three-point attempt by Bojan Bogdanovic and the Kings turned the ball over again which led to a dunk by Mitchell.
That gave the Jazz an 8-4 lead with 9:05 to play in the first quarter. After this game against the Kings, the Jazz will be back on the road for three straight games beginning in Atlanta against the Hawks on Thursday, November 4 at 5:30 p.m. MT on AT&T SportsNet and The Zone Sports Network.
