It also marked his second consecutive double-double and fourth of the postseason. Gobert is the only player in the Western Conference with multiple double-double streaks in the playoffs. He is the eighth player in this year’s postseason with at least four double-doubles and the ninth Jazzman to record at least four in a single postseason. In the Conference Semifinals, Gobert is averaging 16.7 points, 13.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game. In the round, he leads Western Conference centers in scoring and rebounds and ranks third in blocks. JOE COOL Johnson is the 13th player in NBA history (since 1946-47) at 35-years-or-older to average at least 13.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game while shooting .448 percent from the floor in the playoffs. He is the first player to do so since Tim Duncan (2014-15) and the second Jazzman to do so (Karl Malone, 1999-00). Johnson has scored 1,810 career playoff points, 72nd all-time and 10th among active players. He is six rebounds shy of 500 career playoff rebounds and four steals shy of 100 career playoff steals. He would be the 13th active player and 54th overall (since 1984) with those numbers. THE MATCHUP The Jazz are 14-11 when facing elimination at home and 52 when facing elimination at home in Conference Semifinal games. Utah and Golden State have faced off three times in the playoffs, with the Jazz winning the most recent matchup, 4-1, in the 2007 Western Conference Semifinals. The other two meetings were in the First Round of the 1987 and 1989 playoffs. TAKE FIVE This is the sixth time Utah has been the fifth seed, amassing a 6-5 overall series record.

He joins Mark Eaton on the list of most consecutive games with at least one block by a Jazzman since 1985-86. With a streak of 24 games with a block earlier this season, he is the only player in the last 10 seasons to have tallied a streak of 20-plus and 40-plus games in the same season.

LIFE AS A G Gordon Hayward and George Hill were exceptional on the offensive end for Utah this season. In the 41 regular season games both were on the floor, the duo are combined for 37.7 points per game, leading to a 28-13 record. Hill (11/7) and Hayward (1/16) were both awarded Western Conference Player of the Week, marking the first pair of Jazz teammates to win in the same season since Carlos Boozer and Deron Williams in 2009-10. Utah is 9-4 when Hayward scored 30-plus, 37-10 when he scores 20-plus and 15-1 when Hill scores 20-plus. STANDING TALL The Jazz defense remained true to its name during the 2016-17 season. Utah held opponents to under 90 points 25 times this season, most in the NBA, and held a 21-4 record in those games. They held opponents to under 90 points in three straight games (12/29-1/2), tied for the longest streak this season. Utah had six separate steaks this season of opponents failing to reach the 90point mark, which led the league. Additionally, they finished third in the NBA in defensive rating, first in opponent points per game and tied for second in opponent field goal percentage. DEFENSIVE RATING (2016-17) TEAM Def. Rtg.

Hayward helped the Western Conference to a 192-182 win with eight points, one rebound, two assists and a teamhigh four steals. In his first All-Star game, he connected on 4-of-7 shots from the field in 18 minutes.

He defeated Washington’s John Wall and Boston’s Isaiah Thomas before falling to New York’s Kristaps Porzingis in the finals. Danté Exum and Trey Lyles led Team World to a 150-141 victory over Team USA. Exum tallied 11 points and four assists while Lyles notched seven points, one rebound and two assists.

Rudy Gobert led the league in blocks (214), ranked second in offensive rating (129.1) and field goal percentage (.663) and finished third in defensive rating (99.2). Here’s what others around the league said about the duo and their teammates: Kevin Durant on Rudy Gobert “He’s grown so much as a player. When he first came into the league, I didn’t think he’d be this good. I didn’t think his foot speed was where it should be, but he definitely changed my mind on that. He tests your offense a lot. He changed their team, he’s the reason why they’re so good.” Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr on Quin Snyder “Watching them on tape they are innovative, they play together and they defend. They are just a smart, tough basketball team. Quin deserves a lot of credit for that and he’ll probably get some votes for Coach of the Year, which he deserves. I’m really happy for him and happy for their franchise.” Pistons Head Coach Stan Van Gundy on Rudy Gobert “I think there’s a couple things with Gobert. I think obviously defensively he’s really, really good. He’s got great timing, he moves his feet well on pickand-rolls, he protects the rim, and then offensively I think you’ve gotta give him a lot of credit too. He plays exactly the way they want him to play and exactly the way he needs to play for them to be successful. Pistons Head Coach Stan Van Gundy on Joe Johnson “Joe Johnson has been terrific. I think they made a great acquisition with Joe Johnson. A lot of people thought Joe was really on the decline, but he has really bounced back. They have put him in a good role.” MAKE ROOM FOR RUDY Rudy Gobert set a franchise record with 31 consecutive games of 10-plus rebounds vs. OKC (1/23) (previously 19, Paul Millsap 2008-09 and Truck Robinson 1977-78). Over the past 20 years, only four other players in the league had 31 consecutive games or more of 10-plus rebounds. Over the 31-game stretch, Gobert averaged 14.3 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game.

Snyder collected his 100th win as Jazz head coach on January 2, 2017 at Brooklyn. With over 20 years of coaching experience, and 10 years of head coaching experience, Snyder has sat beside some of the game’s most respected names and has coached in all walks of basketball life, including the NCAA, the NBA Developmental League, the EuroLeague and the NBA. Snyder most recently comes to Utah from the Atlanta Hawks, where he was an assistant to Head Coach Mike Budenholzer. From 2007-10, Snyder was the head coach of the Developmental League’s Austin Toros (the D-League affiliate of the San Antonio Spurs). With the Toros, Snyder garnered a 94-56 (.627) record, seeing the playoffs each year and advancing to at least the D-League Semifinals every season. In Snyder’s inaugural season, he inherited a team that had gone 21-29 the year before and flipped the script guiding the Toros to a 30-20 record, a Southwest Division Title and an appearance in the 2008 D-League Championship game. In 2009, Snyder was named the Dennis Johnson Coach of the Year. During his three seasons in Austin, Snyder sent more players to the NBA and won more games than any other D-League coach. Snyder got his first NBA coaching gig as an assistant with the Los Angeles Clippers in 1992-93, from there Snyder served as an assistant/associate head coach at his alma mater Duke University from 1993-99. He landed his first head coaching job with the NCAA’s Missouri Tigers and held that position for seven seasons (1999-06). After his success with the Toros, Snyder went on as a player development coach with Philadelphia (2010-11) and an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers (2011-12), CSKA Moscow (2012-13) and Atlanta Hawks (2013-14) serving under some of the most respected coaches in basketball.

Snyder led the Blue Devils to three Final Fours (1986, 1988, and 1989) and won two ACC Championships (1986, 1988). Academically, Snyder was named to the ACC Honor Roll three times. Snyder attended training camp with the Indiana Pacers after finishing his career at Duke, but went on to pursue other coaching endeavors. A native of Mercer Island, Wash., Snyder earned undergraduate degrees in both philosophy and political science at Duke and later earned a Juris Doctor and M.B.A from there as well.
