Performers of the Night
Rudy Gobert
Gobert scored 10 points on only 4 shots against the Hornets. It was his defense, however, that makes him one of our performers of the night. Gobert had six(!) blocks on Monday night.
Georges Niang
Georges Niang was 7/7 from three against the Hornets. His seven threes were part of a franchise record 28 threes for the Jazz.
Donovan Mitchell
Mitchell was a major reason for Utah's turnaround in the second half. Like a few others, Mitchell struggled with turnovers and decision making in the first half. He turned things around and finished with 23 points and 8 assists.
