Rudy Gobert, Jaden McDaniels propel Minnesota Timberwolves to a 2-0 series lead over Phoenix Suns
The Minnesota Timberwolves took a 2-0 series lead over the Phoenix Suns behind Rudy Gobert and Jaden McDaniels, who each played starring roles on both ends of the floor. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the win, including Rudy’s dominant defensive showing, Jaden’s length disrupting Phoenix’s offense, and the Wolves getting a well-rounded offensive performance despite relatively quiet nights from Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns.

Thanks to Devin Booker for pissing off McDaniels and allowing him to go off
STAT LINE
EVERY starter had 10 or more combined…
rebounds/assists/steals/blocks
that is the definition of team play. that wins ball games.
Rudy was a 3 time DPOY in Utah
Booker trying to act hard after listening to everyone say he can’t play physical, Jaden was looking out for his boy morris after book went over the back
Sloppy game but a win is a win
8 rebounds.. if he can du that. We will win it all
You look really happy Ben 👌
I was a little skeptical before the series started, so I'm very surprised and excited about our wins.
And we haven't even had a game where our 3 best offensive players (Ant, Kat, Naz) are all clicking. Yet still have won by double digits in both fames. That's scary.
Bro, been watching you for years man. Dude that pause at the beginning ya need to work on. Makes it awkward and it’s been like that for years
I'm still frustrated at KAT. He plays so reckless and careless it's infuriating. The bigger the game and stakes, the more likely he is to get into foul trouble and commit costly turnovers.
The Timberwolves are FUN 👍
2:15 13:37 starts
Mind you this guy is the dude that said this:
1. The Suns is a terrible match up
2. (After winning game 1) Suns might win on game 2
3. Keeps defending KAT even after every bad game
4. Doesnt give enough credit to Anthony Edward's defense
5. Lowkey hates the wolves or just loves losing 😅
Not really interested in the opinions of a Wolves podcaster that picked against the Wolves.
The technical is what lit Jaden up.
Monte is playing the Slomo minutes. He was questionable tonight. Your take on him being out of a rotation is still wrong. This is clearly not dNP cd. Also you just said the guy filling his spot was a dud.
Allen was rushed back and got hurt.
