Jazz Blow Out Timberwolves, 120-100
The Utah Jazz took down the Minnesota Timberwolves, 120-100, at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Thursday evening.

The Jazz (39-29) cruised to victory on Thursday, continuing its strong play from its win over Phoenix on Wednesday. Utah maintained strong efficiency, shooting over 49 percent from the floor and knocking down 13 three-pointers. Minnesota (32-37) could not keep up, shooting a dismal 5-of-24 from three-point range in the loss. Utah's hard-nosed defense also kept Minnesota at bay in the paint. The Jazz combined to block eight shots in Thursday's win.

Donovan Mitchell scored a team-high 24 points in the win. Mitchell's strong play was complemented by double-doubles from big men Rudy Gobert and Derrick Favors. Gobert finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds, while Favors shot 8-of-12 for 17 points and 11 boards.

Minnesota, meanwhile, saw a lone bright spot in the strong play of big man Karl-Anthony Towns. Towns, who had been averaging 35 points per game since the All-Star break, came up big once again, scoring 26 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. He was the only Minnesota player to score more than 14 points, with Andrew Wiggins shooting a suboptimal 6-of-17 from the floor.

Utah will host the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, while the Timberwolves next suit up in Houston on Sunday.
