SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Donovan Mitchell scored 27 points and Rudy Gobert recorded a monster double-double, leading the Utah Jazz to a 110-101 victory over the Sacramento Kings.
Gobert finished with 17 points and 20 rebounds for Utah (2-0). Harrison Barnes had 25 points and 14 rebounds for the Kings (1-1).
Buddy Hield finished with 24 points and seven rebounds on the night he broke Peja Stojakovic’s franchise record for 3-point goals. Mitchell struggled all night against Kings rookie Davion Mitchell, making just 9 of 25 from the field and 6 of 14 from 3-point range.
The Kings led by eight at the break after holding the Jazz to 46 points in the first half, but they gave up 35 points in the third quarter and 29 in the fourth.
They finished the game with a four-guard lineup — with Barnes at center — after Richaun Holmes fouled out with 3:12 remaining.
