Rudy Gobert

Having just converted the game’s go-ahead free throws, Rudy Gobert was not done. The three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year haunted the Indiana Pacers on both ends of the court as he preserved a fragile two-point lead when he trailed Buddy Hield’s drive to the rim and rejected the game-tying attempt from behind. Gobert posted 16 points, 21 rebounds, three steals and two blocks as he led the Minnesota Timberwolves to a 121-115 victory on December 7, 2022.
