Their defense is crazy good this season. They also have held their opponents to the lowest field goal percentage and lowest 3 point percentage at 41.6% and 31.3% respectively.

And while player defensive rating is not the best stat, it is still interesting to note that among players with at least 20mpg this season, the Timberwolves have 6 players in the Top 10 player defensive rating.

Gobert might have a shot at another DPOY, if they continue their defensive dominance and if the narrative allows for it.

You're right, but people aren't gonna want to heat it.

Opponents are shooting a hair under 32% on open and wide open 3s against the Wolves. That isn't the defense that's causing that, it's shooting luck.
