Toronto Raptors vs Utah Jazz: Rudy Gobert and his frustrations

One Utah Jazz player who was particularly disappointed was Rudy Gobert. The 27-year-old Frenchman expressed his disapproval of the proceedings when he punched himself during the game on Sunday night. In the second quarter, with just two minutes left on the clock, the Raptors were leading 66-29 when the referee called for a foul as Gobert was fighting for a rebound. The decision meant Gobert lost his cool and retaliated. But instead of taking it out on someone, he punched himself in the face as he walked away from the scene.
