Kendrick Perkins bashes 'sassy' Rudy Gobert after Timberwolves' Game 4 loss to Nuggets
The Minnesota Timberwolves' feelings of vindication about their 2022 blockbuster trade for Rudy Gobert was at an all-time high on Monday, May 6. In Game 2, even though Gobert was absent due to the birth of his son during the day of his coronation as the 2023-24 Defensive Player of the Year, the Timberwolves wreaked havoc on the Denver Nuggets' home floor as they claimed a 117-90 victory to sweep the first two games of the series at Ball Arena. It may have taken the Timberwolves a year to maximize Gobert's skillset, but now, no one can dispute that the 31-year old center from France has caused a 180-degree change in the Timberwolves' defensive culture. Following that spirited Game 2 display, many pundits believed that the Timberwolves had the Nuggets on the ropes.
