Speaking with reporters on Friday, the Utah Jazz center was asked about all of the shots that Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has taken at him recently. “It’s just noise to me,” replied Gobert, per Dana Greene of KTVX in Utah. “If anything, when people keep talking about you, targeting you in some way, it means you’re doing something right. I’m just gonna keep trying to be the best Rudy I can be on and off the court and for my team.

Luka Doncic had a couple zingers in his interview after Mavs’ 114-109 loss:
On going 1-on-1 vs. Rudy Gobert: “I like the matchup. I think twice I got fouled, but I know the ref. He won’t call a foul.”
Which ref doesn’t like him?
“I don’t want to get fined.” – 12:17 AM

Rudy Gobert, on Luka Doncic’s assertion that he fouled him: “I’m not a ref. It was a physical game. But Luka always pushes. So if they’re not going to call that, then they shouldn’t call anything else. I didn’t think there was enough contact to call a foul.” – 12:04 AM

Rudy Gobert won’t be 1st team all NBA because he doesn’t score enough vs likes of Jokic or Embiid. But that was a defensive clinic he put on in the 4th quarter, especially when he got switched on to Doncic. 7-1 guys don’t move their feet like that. Reason why he’s 3x DPoY – 11:39 PM

Quin said the decision to use Gobert against Doncic late was a read-based one. Felt like the team was a bit too passive early with Rudy in drop-big. He said the team’s whole defensive effort improved as the game went along. – 11:35 PM

Big, big win for Utah tonight. How about Rudy Gobert the Portable Rim Protector! I’ve often wondered why the Jazz are reluctant to switch him out on big wings.
The fix is to put Brunson and Luka in a 2-man game and park Rudy’s man in the corner, but Dallas only did that once – 11:32 PM

Jazz beat Mavs 114-109. That was something else.
Rudy Gobert just played dominating defense down the stretch to shut down Luka Doncic and the Mavs. Held Luka to 23 points on 24 FG!
Donovan Mitchell had a very efficient 33 pts on 11-19 FG. Conley/Bogdanovic also big. – 11:19 PM

The Jazz defeat Dallas 114-109. Utah allows just 42 second half points. They move to 37-22 on the season. They have won seven of eight. 33 from Mitchell. Incredible defensive fourth quarter from Gobert. We are on to Phoenix and the Suns on Sunday afternoon – 11:18 PM

Best Utah late game execution I’ve seen this season, bar none. They trap Donovan, but Jazz move the ball quickly, Conley attacks the closeout, easy lob to Gobert. Jazz up 5 with 11 sec left, and this *should* be done. – 11:14 PM

THIS IS SO INTERESTING. So Gobert’s honestly started to lock up every Luka-related action he’s in — truly incredible stuff. Now Dallas just attacking Clarkson… he’s guarding Dinwiddie. But Gobert helped enough on it to counter — great block just now. – 11:05 PM

Jazz down 67-60 at the half.
Mavs: 134 ORtg. Jazz need more inside to prevent Powell from scoring so easily, he has 15. (Gobert not his best defensively so far.)
Jazz offense going well. Mitchell great. Conley was really impressive early, too. – 10:07 PM

In the second half of the Wolves-Sixers last matchup, Doc Rivers put Tobias Harris on KAT and Joel Embiid on Vanderbilt. They’re doing that again.
Chris Finch calls this “The Utah Defense” — because it’s what the Jazz do with Gobert, lurking to double team KAT. – 8:16 PM
