The Jazz organization is in a prime position today, tomorrow, and into the future especially compared to the Wolves. Add Gobert and what money his contract guarantees, and the Timberwolves are not in a prime position. The win raised the Jazz to 23-24.

The loss dropped the Timberwolves to 22-23, and are now ranked No. The Timberwolves did not back away from the Jazz and provided some intense moments of their own.

This is certainly a hard pill to swallow for the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Utah rookie (who Minnesota traded away in the deal for Gobert) had a career night, putting up 20 points and 21 rebounds en route to a 126-125 win.
