Problems have a way to find Rudy Gobert. It’s already dusting with players like Draymond Green and Myles Turner or Historically fast executions That comes from eliminating a cup of water from the scorer table, when a game of its becomes the drama that is not the ball, it is often in the center of the story. Indeed, that was the case again on Monday when the Timberwolves, winners of eight consecutive games, faced the Indiana Pacers.
Monday’s incident arrived in the third quarter. With the ball in his hands, Andrew Nembhard apparently hit the Timberwolves Mike Conley guard in his face to create space for a trip. He managed to do it without receiving an offensive lack, but Gobert apparently did not agree with that decision from the officials. He retaliates with a hard foul in Nembhard, a shoulder in the head, which attracted a flagrant 2.
However, Nembhard did not take that feeling sitting. He threw Gobert’s ball after the whistle. That attracted him from a technical lack, his second in the game after one that arrived in the first quarter, which also threw it.
At the time, Minnesota apparently won the exchange of Gobert-Forfor Nembhard. The Timberwolves followed at that point 66-58, but managed to take the game on extra time. Once there, however, the Pacers took the game with a 132-130 victory while Obi Toppin perforated A triple winner of the game in recent seconds. That broke the winning streak of Minnesota at eight.
Gobert recently lost 10 games due to a back injury. He has played quite well since he returned, but the result of Monday shows how important it is for Minnesota in large games. They need it on the floor. That means staying healthy, yes, but it also means staying out of the fights like this, whether opposite players instigate them or not.
