With 8:57 left in the second quarter and Utah down 10, Rudy Gobert was called for a charge while making a layup. Quin Snyder challenged it, and won the challenge. It turned into a 3 point swing and took a foul away from Rudy. Utah won by 3 and Gobert ended up with 5 fouls

We’ve seen so many coaches who refuse to use their challenge earlier in the game, this was a perfect example of why there are situations where you should use it regardless of how much time is left in the game. There was definitely some questionable calls in the 4th quarter that it would have been nice to have the challenge but I haven’t seen a challenge that ended up being so important from early in the game. Rudy getting in foul trouble in the 4th would’ve changed the whole dynamic of that game, although Favors was having an incredible game and stepped up huge.
