Rudy Gobert, on calling out teammates: “I just speak my mind. For me, it’s never about pointing fingers. I’m not perfect in the way I communicate. I’m an emotional person, and I don’t like losing. – 1:51 AM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Rudy Gobert admitted that he might be a “little too honest” sometimes with the media. But said it’s never about pointing fingers. “I’m an emotional guy and I hate losing.” – 12:56 AM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Rudy Gobert on his tendency to speak his mind, even about his teammates at times.
“I’m not perfect in the way I communicate, and I’m an emotional person and I don’t like losing.”
He did say sometimes he wishes he hadn’t said anything, says he includes himself in the criticism. – 12:56 AM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
I thought the Jazz made as much of a concerted effort tonight in getting Rudy Gobert the ball as I’ve ever seen them make. And Gobert rewarded that with several nice takes to the rim with his back to the basket – 12:36 AM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz beat Lakers 122-109. 5-game losing streak snapped.
Mitchell had 29 points, 7 assists.
Gobert had 25 points, 17 rebs, on 9-11 FG.
Next: an interesting matchup at GSW on Saturday. I’ll be there for that one. – 12:21 AM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz defeat the Lakers 122-109. Mitchell with 29. Gobert with a monster night, 25 and 17 rebounds. The Jazz move to 46-31 on the season. They move into the fifth spot in the western conference. On to Golden State and the Warriors on Saturday night – 12:21 AM Eric Walden @tribjazz

Rudy Gobert gets a technical foul – 11:23 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Gobert picks up a technical for running into the official… looks like Vogel was surprised it wasn’t more. – 11:22 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
Trevor Ariza just tried to dream shake Rudy Gobert i need a drink. – 11:04 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz lead The lakers 66-55 at halftime. I thought Mitchell and Gobert were both terrific in the first half. I also thought the jazz made a concerted effort to play good team basketball. And a good close to the first half as well – 11:03 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Rudy Gobert had to get hit in the face for that offensive board, but it results in a Clarkson 3. #HandsDirty – 10:38 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
That drop step and finish might legit be the best move I’ve seen Rudy Gobert make with his back to the basket – 10:33 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Man if you combined Gobert’s defense, Whiteside’s touch around the rim, and Greg Monroe’s passing you’d have one hell of a player. – 10:18 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz will be back to starting Gobert, Bogdanovic, O’Neale, Mitchell, Conley.
Lakers are starting Howard, Ariza, Johnson, Monk, Westbrook. – 9:35 PM

More on this storyline

Eric Walden: Donovan Mitchell, on the Utah Jazz avoiding finger-pointing: “That’s childish, in my opinion. If we do that, then we’ve got some big problems. We have a group of guys who are seasoned. … So a five-game losing streak — if that’s what breaks us, we’re not who we think we are.” -via Twitter @tribjazz / April 1, 2022 Andy Larsen: Quin Snyder on Gobert’s “We don’t get our hands dirty” comment postgame vs. LAC: “Rudy’s made comments about guys defending before, and those are something that those guys talk about too. My preference is that — I think there’s a forum for that that’s maybe more productive.” -via Twitter @andyblarsen / March 31, 2022 Tony Jones: Donovan Mitchell: I don’t know what to say….this is the same shit….this is literally the same thing as last year… -via Twitter @Tjonesonthenba / March 30, 2022
