The Timberwolves were up by 8 points when Anthony Davis rolled his ankle in the third quarter. From that point on the Lakers rallied and had a 7-point lead before the final period.
According to Rudy Gobert, that was the turning point of the game. “I had the ball in my hands and I could’ve went and dunked it, but AD was laying there,” Gobert said, per Jon Krawczynski.
“So I was like, that’s too ruthless, I’ll just pass it out. After that it was just turnover after turnover. It was just a tough stretch.”
