The Jazz impressed today at Madison Square Garden against the Knicks, winning 114-109 in a rare noon start time.
Rudy Gobert, one of the league’s premier shot blockers, put on a show against fellow big men Kristaps Porzingis and Joakim Noah. Finishing with a game-best plus/minus of +11, along with blocking three shots, Gobert had highlights on both ends of the floor against New York’s frontcourt tandem.
Knicks’ fan favorite Kristaps Porzingis received the worst of the bunch, getting posterized by the 7’1″ Gobert late in the fourth:

Porzingis tried responding with a bucket of his own less than one minute later, but was swiftly rejected by the “Stifle Tower”.
