Rudy Gobert makes admission about end of Game 2

“Motherf—er! You can’t f—ing guard me!” Doncic appeared to say.

After the game, a somber Gobert explained what happened on the play and shouldered blame for the loss.

“We switched on the pick and roll. I was in iso. He hit a big shot. I let my team down on the last play. They believed in me to get a stop and he scored a three,” Gobert said, via Ben Golliver of the Washington Post.

Gobert had a hand in Doncic’s face, but it simply wasn’t enough. The defense needed to be tighter given the score and situation, which Gobert readily acknowledges.

Now in a 0-2 hole, Gobert and the Timberwolves will look to bounce back in Game 3 on Sunday night at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
