The Timberwolves are 22-10 when Gobert grabs at least nine rebounds, 22-11 when he scores at least eight points, 16-5 when he attempts at least seven shots, 16-8 when he doles out two-plus assists and 6-2 when he blocks three or more shots. Those are the numbers required to be a championship-contending team.

The sky is no longer falling for the Minnesota Timberwolves, as they have recovered from a two-game losing skid, having won all of their last three outings. That includes the Timberwolves’ win on Monday night at home versus the Trae Young-less Atlanta Hawks.
