Midway through Saturday's third quarter, Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert did something he seldom does.
He showed off his post moves.
With a playoff game filled with alley-oops and putback jams, Gobert backed away Phoenix center Jusuf Nurkic with three dribbles across the lane before he reversed course and banked a 12-foot turnaround shot off glass over his right shoulder. He was fouled by Nurkic, too, and made the free throw for a three-point play.
The play came early in a 21-5 run to close the quarter, one that gave the Wolves a 92-72 lead by third quarter's end after Phoenix had cut an 11-point deficit to four.
