Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert, back from his one-game suspension, proved to be too much inside for the Thunder in the Timberwolves' win.
Former DPOY Marcus Smart joins Sports Seriously and tells Mackenzie why he thinks there seems to be a lack of defense in today's game.MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Timberwolves went big this season, getting Rudy Gobert for an against-the-grain pairing with Karl-Anthony Towns in a league increasingly revolving around outside shooting and small ball.
Gobert had 21 points and 10 rebounds in his return from exile for swinging at teammate Kyle Anderson, and the Wolves filled out the NBA playoff bracket by seizing the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference with a near-perfect performance at the end of another harder-than-it-had-to-be season. “We are in the standings, but I don’t consider us as an ‘8’ seed,” Gobert said, adding: “We know if we play the right way, there’s not a team in the league that we can’t beat.”
