Jon Krawczynski: Last night’s game was ugly. The body language from Rudy Gobert was addressed postgame, from what I was told. Often times I think too much is made of player meetings and things like that. They happen all the time, and discussion was needed after that game. Will see how the Wolves respond on Sunday.

This frustrated Rudy Gobert sequence played a big role in the Wolves loss to the Raptors tonight.
– Randle doesn’t throw him the entry pass, and the Wolves take a 3-second call
– Barnes, who is guarding Gobert, celebrates the call

More on this storyline
Donte DiVincenzo: “You don’t know Rudy until you play with him. Rudy is the anchor of our defense, and a lot of stuff revolves around him. But to your point about his approach, Rudy’s approach is unmatched — daily. His preparation, his commitment to his body, getting ready for a game — it’s really cool to see that. And then, when you’re on the court with him, you don’t realize how big he is. I threw a couple of lobs to him already early in the season, and I thought, ‘There’s no way he’s going to catch it.’ But he goes up and brings it down. It’s little things like feeling him out and knowing how to make the game easy for him. If you make it easy for him, he’ll make it easy for you on the defensive end. That’s what I’ve learned playing with him.” -via YouTube / November 19, 2024
Julius Randle decided the NBA Sundays affair with a buzzer-beating three-pointer to highlight a 35-point display. “That’s amazing for him. He works really hard. We trust him in those moments,” said Gobert, “We know he is capable of making tough and clutch shots. He’s done it in his whole career. Just another weapon for us.” -via EuroHoops.net / November 18, 2024
