Rudy Gobert is known to be one of the league’s most fearsome shot blockers. But it was by the grace of God that the Jazz rim protector did not get obliterated by a Willie Cauley-Stein tomahawk when Utah played the Sacramento Kings on Sunday.
Willie Cauley-Stein somehow posterized Rudy Gobert without making the dunk
Count this as a poster anyway.

Cauley-Stein rose up and barely missed a two-handed stuff that would have sent the Golden 1 Center into an uproar. Gobert never even got a hand up.
Unfortunately for the Kings, the French big man got the last laugh. Gobert finished with 16 points and 24 rebounds, including a tip-in in the final moments that gave Utah a 110-109 win over Sacramento.
Cauley-Stein posted 15 points, nine rebounds, and two steals, but much like his blown dunk, the Kings missed winning by that much. Sacramento has now lost its last four games and is 1-5 since trading DeMarcus Cousins after the All-Star Game.
And at No. 4 in the Western Conference, it’s safe to say Utah doesn’t have those problems.
