Eric Walden @tribjazz Despite just six points on six shots Sunday vs. the Cavs, Rudy Gobert had his fingerprints all over the Jazz’s win. And yet, his emphatic dunk at the end — Utah’s final points — was just his latest reminder that he can be an offensive weapon too. sltrib.com/sports/jazz/20… – 8:58 AM
Joe Vardon @joevardon Ricky Rubio was upset when he was traded to the Cavs. The Warriors were hoping he’d negotiate a quick buyout. Instead, he bought into Cleveland, and is at the center of a budding renaissance. W/ ⁦@Kelsey Russo⁩ ⁦@The Athletic⁩ theathletic.com/3000148/2021/1… – 8:53 AM
