The Wolves Have Relinquished the Self

In Game 5, Gobert’s Godzillaball laid waste to the Lakers. In Games 3 and 4, speed and shooting carried the day. All told, the most impressive part of the Minnesota Timberwolves’ first-round win was their adaptable, stylistically versatile, and ultimately selfless basketball.
