SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic threw a nice alley-oop pass to center Rudy Gobert, who finished with a one-handed dunk against the Lakers.

The dunk put the Jazz on an 11-0 run in which Bogdanovic and Gobert were both a big part of against the Lakers.
The alley-oop started when Lakers guard Dennis Schroder missed a three-pointer. Royce O’Neale collected the rebound and the Jazz ran on the fastbreak. O’Neale handed the ball off to Bojan Bogdanovic on the right side of the floor. Bogey went towards the free throw line when he saw Gobert slashing on the left side to the rim and threw up the lob. Gobert grabbed the ball with his right hand and threw it down, exciting the Jazz bench at Staples Center.
The play gave the Jazz a 69-50 with 7:05 left in the third quarter.
