Rudy Gobert, center of the Minnesota Timberwolves, spoke after the win over the Denver Nuggets about his teammate Naz Reid.
The Minnesota Timberwolves still haven’t tasted defeat in this year’s playoffs. Last night, they secured their fifth consecutive win, the third on the road. Rudy Gobert had his hands full defending against Nikola Jokic, while his teammate Naz Reid, who was named Sixth Man of the Year, played a fantastic role off the bench. He contributed 16 points on 7-11 shooting from the field.
“In the third quarter, I came to him and said, ‘f**k what’s happening, f**k what happened if you miss a shot, if you get fouled or anything. Just free your mind and just be you and just embrace the moment, enjoy the moment and I promise you you gonna make some plays’. And he did,” Gobert said.
The next game is scheduled for May 7th at 4 AM.
