The Timberwolves grabbed 41 rebounds in the Western Conference semifinals G1, less than the Warriors' 51. Gobert scored nine points, grabbed 11 rebounds and had three blocks. Gobert grabbed 24 rebounds in Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs against the Lakers.


"They had a lot of foul moves when they were fighting for defensive rebounds, pushing, grabbing, pushing, and even lunging at Rudy." Chris Fincher said, "It's obvious that we're giving these clips to the league. In fact, I'm not sure there's any other player in the league with Rudy's credentials who would be able to get a physical confrontation like this without getting a foul. So, this matter has to be solved somehow. ”

Chris Finch also mentioned that in the second quarter of last night's game, Gobert's then Warriors guard Podzemski "obviously caught him first", and Gobert was only whistled for a foul when he tried to get rid of the opponent's pull. In addition, the Timberwolves had 21 fouls in the series G1, while the Warriors had 18.

Warriors head coach Kerr also mentioned in an interview on the 8th that Curry, the first brother in charge, was fouled by the opponent but did not get a whistle, which made the Warriors very dissatisfied, "I was angry in the first 10 minutes of the game, it felt like I ran into Houston (Rockets), they wrapped around Steph like a bear hug, and the referee could have blown 6 fouls, but the league established the scale of physical confrontation in the playoffs... Everybody is doing foul moves, and I think the referee's job is really hard because playoff basketball is all about physical confrontations, and they allow more physical collisions, but I think they can blow fouls for six or seven rounds in a row when they're defending Steph. ”

"So I have a lot of complaints as well, trust me, everybody, and that's how the playoffs work." "It's a physical game, that's it, both teams have to adapt, and I'm ready to submit our clips to the league," Cole said. ”
