After losing Rudy Gobert in the first minutes of the game, Ricky Rubio turned it up a notch offensively as he scored 22 points to lift the Jazz over the Celtics in Boston (107-95). This marked the first time since 2008 that the Jazz won in Boston and Sweedish forward Jonas Jerebko played a big part in this one as he scored 17 points against his former team.
