Rudy Gobert's importance to the Wolves couldn't be clearer after Monday's ejection

With 7:59 remaining in the third quarter, the Timberwolves and Suns were all squared up at 69 points apiece. It was then that Rudy Gobert made a dangerous defensive play, using his forearm/elbow to shove Suns center Mark Williams around his rib cage as he was flying uncontested for a dunk. The play was deemed a Flagrant 2, causing Gobert to be ejected from the game.

Minnesota ended up losing the game by three as Jaden McDaniels missed the potential game-tying 3-pointer at the end.
