Rudy Gobert had his dunk come off of a nice pass from Mike Conley in the pick-and-roll and he threw down the two-handed dunk over Jaren Jackson Jr. That play erupted the crowd at Vivint Arena and gave the Jazz a 107-97 lead with 11:42 left in the fourth quarter.
The first four points scored by the Jazz in the fourth quarter came off of dunks by Gobert from Conley assists.
