Jazz overcame Embiid, 76ers with ease

Utah Jazz’s Rudy Gobert turned in a dominant performance with 17 points, 21 rebounds in a 118-96 win against the Philadelphia 76ers. Jazz pulled away from the drained 76ers, notwithstanding the two groups were playing the previous evening. The Jazz moved to 3-0 to open their four-game travel and have won their last six games.

The Gobert out-dueled Joel Embiid with 17 points, 21 rebounds, and two blocks on a 6-11 shooting. Jazzman has been by a long shot the better player in their most recent matchup as compared to Embiid in almost every feature. Gobert got critical assistance from Hassan Whiteside, who scored season-high 14 points in 15 minutes. 265-pounds Whiteside can stand his ground, even against a player like Embiid who apparently weighs 280 pounds.
