SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Jazz center Udoka Azubuike gave great hustle to spark the team in the first quarter against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday night.
Udoka Azubuike played just four minutes in the opening quarter for the Jazz but put up two points, one rebound and two blocks.

His lone bucket in the first quarter was a traditional post up move where he did a jump hook with his right hand. Dok’s presence is very much needed for the Jazz with Hassan Whiteside and Rudy Gay missing the game. Now that Rudy Gobert is back in the lineup, Azubuike brings depth that the Jazz have missed over the last week.
