Rudy GobertAfter being whistled for his sixth foul and being disqualified, Gobert stayed on the floor and made the gesture as Foster was going to the scorer's table. Foster didn't see Gobert, but official Natalie Sago did and issued the technical.
Following the game, Gobert, who has a reputation for being outspoken, didn't deny what he did and went further in saying sports betting could be having a major impact on the outcome of games. "I'll bite the bullet again," Gobert said."I'll be the bad guy. I'll take the fine, but I think it's hurting our game. I know the betting and all that is becoming bigger and bigger, but it shouldn't feel that way."
Gobert's actions and remarks almost certainly will be reviewed by the league. He faces a possible fine and suspension.Rudy Gobert didn't deny making the money gesture and went further in saying gambling could be having a major impact on the outcome of games. Minnesota assistant Micah Nori, who filled in when Timberwolves coach Chris Finch fell ill just before tipoff, was critical of Gobert's behavior.
"A technical foul with 27 seconds in the game, to be honest, is unacceptable," Nori said."That's who Rudy is, but you've got to be smart. He made a visual that was automatic. He was obviously frustrated -- both teams were -- but we have to be smarter.""My reaction, which I think was the truth, but it wasn't the time to react that way," the 7-foot-1 center said."It cost my team the game. It was an immature reaction.
