The Utah Jazz scored an impressive victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, 118-96 on Thursday night. But aside from the win, there was another story that needed to be addressed.

Jazz center Rudy Gobert was recently insulted by Minnesota Timberwolves sophomore Anthony Edwards. The young forward said The Stifle Tower “doesn't put fear” in his heart despite being one of the best defenders in the NBA.

But after their win over the Sixers, instead of clapping back, Gobert took the high road and brushed off Edwards' remark (via ESPN).

“It’s more funny than anything, but it’s part of the game. I stay in my line. I don’t take shots at anyone.”

Gobert has gotten his fair share of hate from opposing players in the past. But it's clear that he's now mature enough to not let them get in his head. The Jazz have been one of the toughest teams in the league in recent years because of Gobert. His three Defensive Player of the Year awards are a testament to his defensive acumen.

Jazz coach Quinn Snyder also came to the defense, no pun intended, of Gobert after Edwards' slander.

“Every team we play, their offensive game plan is how to attack Rudy, or how not to attack him. He’s our best isolation defender, the best rim protector in the league.”

Rudy Gobert had a monster showing against the Sixers with 17 points, 21 rebounds, and two blocks, while also limiting Joel Embiid to six points in the second half.

The Jazz will face the Washington Wizards on Saturday.
