WATCH: 7-Footer Rudy Gobert Tries to Fight Celtics Player and Gets Dunked On in the Next Play

The Utah Jazz got quite plenty of rest after a blowout win against the Portland Trail Blazers. So, when they were about to lock horns with the Boston Celtics, everyone assumed that they might have lost a little bit of their momentum.

However, they didn’t forget to show their opponents the face of defeat, and the break didn’t help with their hot-headedness either. Rudy Gobert was about to get into another tussle with Celtics’ player, only to be dunked on a few moments later.

Rudy Gobert got the perfect response to his anger

The Boston Celtics had just come off an intense game against the Philadelphia 76ers and grabbed that win. However, their overall record is 12-10, compared to Utah’s 14-7.

Naturally, the latter also has a better standing in its respective conference. However, when they played against each other, it hardly seemed that way.

The Celtics might have started off slow, but a big comeback in the second and third quarter, helped them catch up to the Jazz and even grab a lead in the fourth quarter. Jayson Tatum, Dennis Schroder, Al Horford, and Marcus Smart were putting up double-digit numbers on the scoreboard, giving one of the most elite teams of the West a run for their money.

Yet, the highlight of the game was something that Marcus Smart pulled off. With less than 2 minutes left in the second quarter, Rudy Gobert found himself being ruthlessly defended in the paint by Grant Williams. This means that Williams was visibly pushing him even when he didn’t have the ball.

This really made Gobert furious, but what came after was worse. He got dunked on by Marcus Smart, which was quite humiliating.

The Utah Jazz continue their winning streak

The Utah Jazz was no less. They have Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert: both their superstar duos took care of both ends of the floor. In fact, they had even more players scoring in double-digits than Boston.

However, they really let the Celtics startle them, and the game went head to head until the very end. However, the Jazz was able to hold onto the lead they got nearing the final minutes of the game and it was game over at 137-130.

So, Gobert might have gotten dunked on but he’s the one walking home with the win, and that’s what really matters, isn’t it?
