9, 1996, the Toronto Raptors did not make a single free throw in a loss to the Charlotte Hornets, erasing the Jazz’s record of one free throw. Despite 17 fouls by Houston, the Jazz went to the foul line only five times and made just one, yet still managed to defeat the Rockets, 103-101. 19, 1977, the New Orleans Jazz set a then-NBA record for fewest free throws made in a game - one.

At that point Rudy shifted over to center, a position he would share with Jakob for all but 2 minutes of the rest of the game. Mezie played the 5 for the next 6 minutes until Gobert checked out of the game, but then never got back on the court. When Jakob Poeltl picked up his 2nd personal foul just 2:32 into the game, he was replaced with Chemezie Metu. But it may not have been the Spurs’ original plan. That Rudy was able to hold his own in what by all rights should have been a massive mismatch in the Jazz’ favor made him the home team’s most important player in this game (non-DeRozan division). After playing just 3 possessions at the 5 this season prior to Wednesday night’s game, per Cleaning the Glass, Rudy Gay was the Spurs’ biggest player on the floor for 18 minutes against the Jazz, including 8 and half minutes matched up with the 7’1” Gobert. It may seem odd to point to a defensive strategy in a game where the Spurs allowed 125.7 points per 100 possessions, but the interesting part of that strategy is that it allowed the Silver and Black to rely on extremely small lineups and still survive.
