Rudy Gobstopper Gobert. The Stifle Tower. He doesn’t like on-court talking, so he decided to just dominate an overmatched Rocket team in the first half tonight. He snagged 11 offensive rebounds in the first half, and 18 overall.
Plus, there was his dunk on Terrence Jones with three minutes left in the half, which deflated the Rockets enough we think this game is over — it’s currently 98-79 at the time of publication, and Gobert has 19 points, 22 boards and four blocks.
Plus, to add insult to injury, Gobert sonned Terrence Jones in the first quarter.
The 11 offensive rebounds Gobert ripped down ended up two short of the NBA record for a half, which Charles Barkley set with 13 in March of 1987. Actually, Chuck and Larry Smith both clasped 11 offensive boards in a quarter.
