The Minnesota Timberwolves had three starters missing from their game against NBA -leading Oklahoma City on Thursday night, with center Rudy Gobert joining the injured group with lower-back spasms in his first absence of the season.

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert has taken issue with officials before. Most notably, Gobert was fined $100,000 for flashing a money sign toward a referee last season. It was the fourth time Gobert was fined for publicly criticizing officials.

Rudy Gobert criticized officiating after the Timberwolves' close 103-101 loss to the Bucks, calling for more consistency from the refs.

Despite Rudy Gobert's absence, the Timberwolves overcame the Thunder 116-101, powered by a strong performance from Naz Reid. Ben and Joe recap the action.
