Utah center Rudy Gobert was fined $25,000 by the NBA on Sunday for foul language during a live TV interview on Saturday after the Jazz beat Dallas (100- 99).
It is for a "fuck the talk", namely "nothing to give a damn about palaver" (roughly speaking), that the Frenchman was sanctioned.
He had just, with the help of Donovan Mitchell in the pass, been the savior of his team with a crushed dunk a few seconds from the end of this game, to equalize at 2-2 against the Mavs, in their series of the first round of the playoffs.
Game 5 against Dallas on Monday
Hardly successful in the first three games, the star duo of Jazz is the subject of speculation about their supposed lack of automatisms and understanding on the floor.
And this decisive action came to symbolize their common efforts to play and win together.
“We just try to be the best team possible.
We believe in each other.
We must continue to move forward, ”added Gobert just after his start of response which did not please the NBA.
At the end of this match, "Gobzilla" had accumulated 17 points and 15 rebounds, Mitchell had finished with 23 points and 7 assists.
The duo will have to confirm this performance Monday in Dallas, for game 5.
