[Saba Sports News] With seconds remaining in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Friday night, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic drained a three-pointer over Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert. Energized by the moment, Doncic taunted Gobert, saying, “Motherf—er! You can’t f—ing guard me!”
After the game, a somber Gobert explained the play and took responsibility 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.
Despite having a hand in Doncic’s face, Gobert admitted his defense wasn’t tight enough given the situation. Now down 0-2, Gobert and the Timberwolves aim to bounce back in Game 3 on Sunday night at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
