A few hours before their away game with the Brooklyn Nets, the Utah Jazz agreed with the Cleveland Cavaliers to send Alec Burks and two future second-round draft picks for Kyle Korver. The 37-year-old is expected to booster his new team’s three-point shooting percentage, but there is no such issue in the paint because of Rudy Gobert.
The 26-year-old French center wished good luck to Burks and went to work again on Wednesday. He led the Jazz to the win in the Barclays Center scoring 23 points with 10/14 from the field. He also grabbed 16 rebounds, dished three assists, posted one steal and blocked four shots in 33 minutes.
