Wolves just beat the 76ers 112 to 99. Michael Grady, the Wolves/Bally sports PBP announcer just said it on the broadcast and statmuse tweeted it source:

No Embiid for the Sixers. Sixers on a road B2B but this was a dominant win for the Wolves. Wolves back.

Goatbert effect

[–] HuruHara@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Rudy and KAT has a double double tonite, so you know that D from the Twin towers are gelling. We're gonna keep that #1 defense spot and we're never letting go, god damnit.

What Rudy Gobert does to a team

[–] PhredXor@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Meanwhile since we traded Rudy we've held one team under 100 points. In roughly 100 games.

We also allowed 101, 101, and 100 points this season. The defense is real.

Healthy Gobert who's the best rim protector in the league instead of injured back Gobert who's "merely" good makes quite a big difference lol

Perhaps missing one of your best players for more than half the season actually matters! Who would’ve thought

The third stringers let a couple games get over 100 as they traded offense like the pacers/hawks games.

What's Minnesota's defensive rating?

[–] Veserius@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

106.2, next closest is boston/Orlando at 107.5.

[–] shazam482@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Is that 1st in the league?

Crazy to think the Suns almost dropped 140 on the Wolves wow
