The Minnesota Timberwolves are out of the NBA playoffs after a spirited but ultimately losing effort against the San Antonio Spurs.

À partir de ce lundi, Victor Wembanyama et Rudy Gobert s’affrontent en demi-finale à l’Ouest des play-offs NBA. Un match dans le match entre les deux géants français.
Rudy Gobert held three-time MVP Nikola Jokic to 1-of-8 shooting in their individual matchup, including three crucial stops in the final minutes, as the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Denver Nuggets 119-114 in Game 2 to tie their first-round series. Gobert, who finished fourth in Defensive Player of the Year voting the same day, called the performance lucky but expressed frustration at being snubbed. Anthony Edwards scored 30 points despite a right knee issue, while Jaden McDaniels sparked controversy postgame by calling Denver's defenders 'bad.'
