For those who rue the fact that defense has left the NBA and scoring has gotten out of control, Sunday's game between the Timberwolves and Clippers was for you.
Depending on your perspective, an intense defensive struggle or offensive brickfest broke out, with every basket feeling more and more precious as the game got later.
The Clippers came away with their first victory of the season over the Timberwolves, winning 89-88 after the Wolves squandered a great start to the game and lost at home for the second time in a row.
In a tight game down the stretch, the Wolves tied it 84-84 when Rudy Gobert grabbed an offensive rebound and hit Jaden McDaniels for a dunk with 2 minutes, 15 seconds to play.
