SALT LAKE CITY – Jazz center Rudy Gobert fed Royce O’Neale with a nifty behind-the-back pass during Utah’s game against the Toronto Raptors.

The Jazz hosted the Raptors at Vivint Arena on Thursday, November 18.

With 1:41 left in the first half, Gobert showed off passing skills with a behind-the-back assist to a cutting O’Neale, who laid the ball into the hoop for two points.

Gobert’s assist and O’Neale’s field tied the game at 59-59.

At halftime, the Jazz trailed the Raptors, 63-61.

After the first 24 minutes of game time, Gobert had six points, three rebounds, one assist, and two blocks. He recorded a plus-eight rating during his 16 minutes on the court.

O’Neale scored 10 points on 4-5 shooting, including 2-3 from beyond the arc. He added three rebounds and one assist during 16 minutes of action.
