PORTLAND, ORE. – In the past few games, the Timberwolves have changed several dynamics concerning how the team operates with Karl-Anthony Towns sidelined.
Both Rudy Gobert and Kyle Anderson have seen their roles increase, and the two are intertwined in how that has happened.
First, Gobert has become more involved and a natural part of the offense recently. Even though the Wolves lost in the first of their back-to-back games at Portland, they nearly erased a fourth-quarter deficit because they were so effective at finding Gobert rolling to the basket or within the cracks of the Trail Blazers defense.
