BOJAN Bogdanovic scored 27 points, Rudy Gobert logged his 11th double-double of the young season and the Utah Jazz snapped out of a mini-funk by dominating the Philadelphia 76ers in a 120-85 victory on Tuesday night in Salt Lake City.
Gobert took advantage of the Sixers being without Joel Embiid, who has missed five consecutive games — all losses — because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) protocols.
The Jazz center scored 15 points, grabbed 17 rebounds and blocked four shots while helping Utah win for just the second time in six games. He spearheaded a Jazz defense that limited Philadelphia to 36.7% shooting.
Bogdanovic hit 9 of 12 shots overall and 5 of 7 from 3-point range to lead a Utah offense that made 51.7% of its field-goal attempts and earned its largest margin of victory this season.
Four other Utah players reached double-digits: Jordan Clarkson (20 points with four 3-pointers), Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell (13 apiece), and Hassan Whiteside (10).
Shake Milton scored 18 points and Tyrese Maxey added 16 points for the Sixers. — Reuters
