Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Game-high 15 boards in Olympic win

Gobert produced seven points (3-6 FG, 1-5 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes in France's 94-90 overtime win over Japan in the Paris Olympics on Tuesday.

Gobert was unstoppable on the glass Tuesday, and he totaled a game-high 15 rebounds. The 32-year-old was quiet on offense, but he will likely not be tasked with too much responsibility on the offensive end alongside Victor Wembanyama and Evan Fournier. The defensive juggernaut's size and ability to protect the paint will be crucial for the squad in securing a medal in Paris. However, Gobert will likely not be expected to shoulder much of the offensive workload with only 14 points in two group-phase games thus far.
