Only 3-for-10 on his first 13 free-throw attempts Sunday, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert made four consecutive ones when it mattered most in a 109-105 victory over the surging Los Angeles Clippers at Target Center.
His four made without a miss in the final minute allowed his Wolves to push back against a Clippers team that trailed by 17 points early in the fourth quarter but by as few as three at 103-100 with little more than a minute left.
But Gobert's late-game shooting helped the Wolves regain a 109-103 lead they never lost. The victory enabled the Wolves to keep the best record in the Western Conference at 28-11, after Oklahoma City had matched them on Saturday night.
