WCSF: Spurs move on as Jazz sans Gobert bow out, 118-104. (4-0)

In Gobert's stead, Ed Davis played admirably for 24 points, 18 rebounds with 1 block, but it just wasn't enough, even with Donovan Mitchell finally looking on-point with 23 points, 7 assists (9-16 FG, 3-3 3PT). Mike Conley had 15 points, 9 rebounds, but without Gobert down low, the Spurs feasted on the Jazz.

San Antonio won the 1st Quarter big, again, this time 30-14, then won the next two quarters, 30-18 for the 3rd. Utah made a valiant comeback, 47-30, but still lost by sixteen points.

A reversal of fortune this season, no doubt, with the Jazz down one of their key players. Brandon Ingram had 23 points for the Spurs, with 4 steals. Andre Drummond terrorized the Jazz interior with 16 points & 25 monstrous rebounds. Kent Bazemore had 14 points, with Trey Lyles notching 12 of his own. Dejounte Murray had 10 points with Joe Harris & Luka Samanic combining for 17.

In other surprising news, the L.A. Clippers succeeded at a shocking sweep of the Lakers after beating them in two close games to face the Spurs next. A minor injury to P.J. Tucker's wrist will keep him out until then, but the Spurs didn't need him tonight as the story was all about Gobert's absence.
