VIDEO: Gobert sends Melo's shot into next week

The Utah Jazz are thrilled to have Rudy Gobert back.

"The Stifle Tower" - who missed 17 straight games earlier in the season due to a knee injury - has averaged 2.7 blocks since his Jan. 7 return.

Wednesday night, the 7-foot-1 Frenchman said "Non merci!" to New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony as Melo rose up for a two-handed flush.

Gobert couldn't have been any more emphatic in denying access to the eight-time All-Star.

Although it's been a rough week in the paint for Anthony, he did exact a small measure of revenge on Gobert shortly after being sent away on his first attempt.
