In a thrilling clash, Anthony Edwards led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 109-105 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday, showcasing his scoring prowess with 33 points.
Rudy Gobert played a crucial role for the Timberwolves, contributing a double-double with 15 points and 18 rebounds, helping his team stave off a late surge from the Clippers.
During the second quarter, Gobert found himself in an unexpected spotlight as he airballed a pair of free throws, prompting Clippers guard Russell Westbrook to playfully mock him from the bench.
Westbrook’s trolling added a light-hearted moment to the game, but Gobert turned the tables when it mattered most. In the decisive fourth quarter, Gobert converted six of eight free throws, including a perfect four-for-four in the final minute of the game.
The French center’s clutch free-throw shooting showcased his resilience and ability to respond under pressure, ultimately securing the Timberwolves’ hard-fought victory over the Clippers.
