Dane Moore: Rudy Gobert's individual scoring this season, especially against Denver, was often a product of the way Denver guards Anthony Edwards -- putting two on Edwards in pick and roll, with Gobert rolling behind the defense happening at the point of attack. Without Edwards in Game 5, Gobert didn't score his first basket until there were 20 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. And I would say, not coincidentally, Game 5 was Gobert's least effective defensive game of the series -- continuing a pattern from the regular season of lacking offensive involvement leading to lacking defensive impact .
