The Wolves continue their march forward. Leaders of the Western Conference, the Minnesota players won the flagship match of the night once morest one of their great rivals at the top of the table: Oklahoma, third. To obtain their thirteenth success of the season (106-103), they were able to count on a great Rudy Gobert.
The French interior (31 years old) signed his second best performance of the season by scoring 17 points and accumulating 16 rebounds. It’s worse than his record once morest New Orleans (122-101) on November 9, but it remains a copy of the boss. His presence under the basket dissuaded Thunder players from venturing too far into the paint.
Concern for Anthony Edwards
But OKC still gave the Wolves doubts on their floor. Canadian Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lived up to his standards with 32 points. But his last long-distance attempt to try to snatch extension did not succeed and Minnesota ended the evening with a smile.
The only downside for Gobert’s team was the exit of Anthony Edwards (21 points, 5 rebounds) in the third quarter. The rear fell heavily to the ground, on his hip, following colliding with Jaylin Williams in the air. Although he did not appear to have suffered too serious an injury, Wolves coach Chris Finch preferred to take no risks by leaving him off the field until the end of the game.
