Rudy Gobert scored 25 points, 10 of 10 shooting, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks in Minnesota's 109-106 win against the Atlanta Hawks. It was his second best score of the season in attack, just behind his 26 points scored against Charlotte in December 2023.
Big favorite for the title of defender of the year in the NBA, Gobert allowed his franchise to catch up with Oklahoma and Denver at the top of the Western Conference with one match remaining in the regular season. For the Wolves, they will have to win this Sunday (9:30 p.m.) against Phoenix while hoping for an OKC defeat against Dallas to be able to finish on top. The French pivot did not tremble to win a new rebound and advance to the free throw line to score the last two points of the match at the very end of the game. He was also dominant physically, like his dunk after snatching an offensive rebound (19-18, 8th). The game was finally sealed by the native of Saint-Quentin.
