The Utah Jazz are back to their winning ways.
The Jazz put together a complete performance on the road Wednesday night, earning a 127-116 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“We talked a lot about moving the ball … and guys spacing so that we can move it,” head coach Quin Snyder said. “Then, for the most part, early on I thought we did a good job defensively. It was a good win.”
Jazz wing Joe Ingles set the tone from the beginning and finished with 23 points. And Donovan Mitchell was a force all game long, scoring 30 points (13-of-20 shooting) to go with six assists and five rebounds.
The Jazz pulled away in the third quarter, outscoring Minnesota 38-24 in the frame.
Minnesota guard Jeff Teague, who was questionable to play Wednesday due to an ankle injury, scored a game-high 32 points. Towns had 21 points and forward Andrew Wiggins had 26 for the Wolves.
Wednesday's Best: Rudy Gobert
The Stifle Tower stuffed the stat sheet on Wednesday, finishing with 20 points, 16 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals—all while helping keep All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns in check at Target Center.
