In a fairly close match between the Mavs and the Jazz, Rudy Gobert’s friends came away with the victory. Frank Ntilikina, however, tried to bring the two teams back to equality … by completely trapping the referees.
We had a show this Saturday night in the NBA, with 5 great meetings, and especially suspense. Evan Fournier started this Christmas Day perfectly with a victory over the Hawks, the full-back finishing with 15 points. For the French, Rudy Gobert and Frank Ntilikina ended all this with a meeting between Jazz and Mavs.
The winner ? Utah, although the franchise had to fight until the last moments to take this success. Luka Doncic was not there, but Kristaps Porzingis made his comeback with 27 units on the finish line. Nevertheless, Donovan Mitchell (33 points) took care of everything at home.
The huge mistake of the referees against Rudy Gobert
This match could have turned one way or the other in the last moments. Dallas did not want to let go, like Frank Ntilikina who finished with 17 points at 5/13 shooting, in addition to 5 rebounds. A good performance for the Frenchman, who was also a clutch with the basket that will follow.

Only problem? No, this basket should not have counted for a walk. After his shot, Ntilikina cannot capture the swelling as well, which the Jazz players are trying to convey to the officials. They made a huge mistake with a minute from the end, even if it will remain inconsequential … luckily for Utah.
Frank Ntilikina trapped the referees, without really wanting to. Good for the Mavs, even if that wasn’t enough to bring the victory. Fortunately for the official, because this failure is incomprehensible.
