The Minnesota Timberwolves have found their groove as a team as of late and aren’t looking back. Game by game the Timberwolves are learning how to play with each other. Tonight the Timberwolves took out that chemistry on the Lakers. It was going to be different this time around as Russell Westbrook was going to be coming off the bench for the Lakers who were without Anthony Davis.
It was all about the Timberwolves in this matchup as it seemed from the beginning they could score whenever they wanted. Rudy Gobert set the tone for the Timberwolves as he was able to control the paint with no issues. On the night Rudy had 22 points with 21 rebounds. Gobert was making the smaller Laker defenders pay as he was able to punish them inside on the boards and defensively. When Rudy Gobert is locked in the NBA is in trouble. Now add Rudy to the fact you still have Karl-Anthony Towns this team has been causing mayhem all year long. The Lakers tried putting different bigs on Towns & Gobert but it didn’t work out as planned
