Almost a year ago, Rudy Gobert took a swing at Kyle Anderson in a Timberwolves huddle in a moment that encapsulated a tumultuous season marred by immaturity and the Wolves' inability to get out of their own way.
The Wolves and the two players have come a long way since, so far, in fact, that their regrettable moment seems like a speed bump on the way to the Wolves getting to 50 wins this season.
Here were Gobert and Anderson offering effusive praise of each other after Wednesday's 106-91 victory over the Pistons.
First, Gobert talked about how Anderson is a "winner," a quality Gobert has always respected in teammates.
