But how far will he go? Rudy Gobert once again amazed the audience on the night from Friday to Saturday. With his Minnesota Timberwolves team, he won against the Memphis Grizzlies (127-103). This is the sixth victory in a row for the Wolves who are more than ever at the top of the Western Conference.
If the Wolves are roaring with happiness, they owe it largely to their Frenchy who freaks out the stats like never before: 16 points (with a 6/9), 20 rebounds and above all 6 blocks. This is quite simply his best performance in this area since the start of the season. Two days earlier against Victor Wembanyama’s San Antonio Spurs (102-94), Gobert had already scored 16 points for 20 rebounds.
The rest will take place on Tuesday with a trip to New Orleans against the Pelicans. For a new feat?
For the other French people, the evening was not as flamboyant but it confirmed the trend with another very good Kyllian Hayes, 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks. The Frenchman did the job but his Detroit Pistons team lost heavily in Orlando (123-91).
Not bad either for Bilal Coulibaly, author of a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds with his Washington Wizards team. Insufficient, however, to avoid a defeat at the Brooklyn Nets (124-97). For his part, Nicolas Batum won with the Philadelphia Sixers ahead of Atlanta Hawks (125-114). He is credited with 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists in 29 minutes.
