Jazz take top spot in NBA playoffs, thump Kings 121-99

Rudy Gobert wasn’t about to stop his Utah teammates from celebrating after securing the No. 1 spot for the NBA playoffs. A year after blowing a 3-1 lead and getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs, the Jazz are headed back to the postseason — and they’re going in with the league’s best record. “Going through what we went through last year, I learned to enjoy every moment,” Gobert said following Utah’s 121-99 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Sunday night.
