Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun dunked hard on Rudy Gobert, then celebrated in the face of Rudy Gobert. It led to some hard feelings in a rematch of a seven-game series from last year's playoffs.
In the fourth quarter of the Minnesota Timberwolves' 119-116 win over the Nuggets on Friday, Braun found a lane to the basket that took him right by the four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year. That is usually a recipe for offensive disaster, but Braun muscled his way through for a thunderous, two-handed dunk that triggered audible gasps from the Target Center crowd.
