First in the Western Conference, Rudy Gobert and his partners signed a fourth victory in a row, Saturday evening, in Charlotte (123-117). The French pivot delivered a stellar performance, adding to his usual good defensive stats (12 rebounds, 3 blocks) a remarkable skill on the other side of the field. With 26 points, he matched his best total since arriving in Minnesota last season – his record is 35 points in the NBA.
A stats sheet all the more notable as he was uncertain for this match due to hip pain. “It’s incredible to see him play knowing he was in pain. A big congratulations to him for what he did,” greeted his friend Karl-Anthony Towns. The latter was the other great architect of the Wolves’ success, with 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. In the absence of house scorer Anthony Edwards, the duo of “big men” fulfilled their role perfectly.
With this new victory, the seventh in the last eight games, Minnesota leads the Western Conference, ahead of Oklahoma City, which beat Dallas 126-120 despite the mammoth triple-double Luka Doncic (36 points, 15 rebounds, 18 assists) , and the defending champion Denver, who fell to Sacramento (123-117).
