9 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks. After just seven minutes, Gobert had already laid the foundations for another great evening with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Already in a double-double, at halftime, with his team ahead by 34 points against an overwhelmed Orlando Magic, and reduced to 37 small units on the clock, the match was already settled.
The French pivot’s teammates ended up rolling without trembling to win in the end by a wide margin (113-92) thanks to a very good Gobert throughout the game. The 31-year-old Frenchman, who is back in great form this season, once again posted a superb statistics sheet with 21 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks in 34 minutes, with an 80% shooting success rate (8/10).
Gobert leading with Minnesota
The French giant also distinguished himself with some high-class actions, including two alley-oops (dunks after receiving a pass from a teammate in the air). A first in the 3rd quarter receiving a pass from veteran Mike Conley, 18th season in the NBA, the second 5 minutes from the end of the game well served by Kyle Anderson.
His duo with Karl-Anthony Towns, top scorer of the match ahead of Gobert (28 points). worked wonders again. The Timberwolves are still the leader of the Western Conference with a record of 26 wins and 10 losses.
In the other games of the night on the French side, Kylian Hayes stood out (4 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists) despite the Detroit Pistons’ 34th defeat of the season against Sacramento. Rayan Rupert (4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist) also lost with Portland against the New York Knicks.
