Going into the matchup between the Utah Jazz and Miami Heat, there was a buzz around the potential matchup between two big dominant centers. All eyes were on the matchup between Hassan Whiteside and Rudy Gobert.
Many were disappointed to find out that Gobert would end up missing the game which meant Hassan Whiteside would have to be matched up against another great Jazz big man, Derrick Favors.
Early in the third quarter, Hassan Whiteside was working in the low post against Favors and Hassan pump faked, turned left and threw down the one-handed slam over Derrick Favors.
Advantage, Hassan Whiteside. Where’s Rudy Gobert when you need him?
