Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland tried to get a layup to go but Rudy Gobert didn’t give him a chance with a viscous block. Mike Conley collected the rebound and gave a little hand off pass to Joe Ingles for a three-pointer.
That sequence put the Jazz up 38-20 with 8:39 left in the second quarter.
