SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Rudy Gobert scored a career-high 20 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and had two blocks as the Utah Jazz cruised past the Denver Nuggets 98-84 on Wednesday night.

Gobert was coming off his 22nd double-double of the season Monday.

There wasn’t much on the line with both teams out of the playoff race, but Jazz coach Quin Snyder said there’s plenty to work on during the final eight games of the season. That was clear after a lackluster first quarter.

The Nuggets scored 29 first-quarter points, then 30 in the second and third quarters combined.

Derrick Favors scored 19, had seven rebounds and three blocks as the Jazz frontcourt dominated. Dante Exum had a career-high 12 assists.

Kenneth Faried scored 19 points and added 10 rebounds for the Nuggets, while Ty Lawson finished with 15.
