Jazz Roll Bulls

Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points, Rudy Gobert added 21 points, 10 rebounds and a career-high nine blocks, and the Utah Jazz pounded the Chicago Bulls 120-95 on Monday night.

 

The Western Conference leaders took control in the first half and rolled to their second straight win after losing five of eight.

 

Mitchell made five 3-pointers, one shy of his season-high. The two-time All-Star also had six rebounds and six assists.

 

Gobert just missed the first triple-double by a Jazz player since Feb. 13, 2008, when Carlos Boozer had 22 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists at Seattle. He also surpassed his previous high of eight blocks.

 

Joe Ingles made 5 of 6 3s and finished with 17 points. Jordan Clarkson scored 16, and Mike Conley added 15 points.

 

Zach LaVine led Chicago with 27 points, though he made just 10 of 25 shots. Thaddeus Young added 14 points and nine rebounds.

 

But Lauri Markkanen scored just eight points in 19 minutes as the Bulls lost for the third time in four games. 

 

The Bulls host Cleveland on Wednesday.
