Even with Conley around, and Towns returning from the calf injury that kept him out for months to make a final push to the postseason, Gobert had a lapse in the regular season finale, when his frustration boiled over and he punched teammate Kyle Anderson in the chest during a heated exchange during a timeout. Gobert was suspended for the first play-in game against the Los Angeles Lakers, possibly costing Minnesota the No. 7 seed and setting it up for a first-round loss to the eventual champion Denver Nuggets. “As a competitor, I wanted to go and win the championship from the first year. But that’s not how life works,” said Gobert, adding that the change this season stems from “having each other’s back. That’s the number one thing. I think we have a group of guys that have the will to overcome adversity, overcome anything that comes our way. The will to make each other better. The will to see each other shine.”
