Nuggets exposed a massive problem that the Timberwolves can't seem to escape

The Minnesota Timberwolves fell short 142-138 in overtime against the Denver Nuggets on Christmas night. There's a lot to discuss with this game, including Anthony Edwards' 44-point performance and insane corner 3-pointer to force overtime and Nikola Jokic's godly 56-point, 16-rebound, 15-assist stat line.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME, Æ!?!?!?!

ALL-STAR THIS MAN.

However, I'd like to focus on the Wolves' defense, specifically the stark difference between when Rudy Gobert was on the court vs. when he was off the court.
