The Minnesota Timberwolves have the best defense in the NBA.

The Timberwolves look strong this season both offensively and defensively. Offensively, Anthony Edwards often grabs the spotlight, understandably so as he is a standout player. However, defensively, the team has been solid and is currently the one that concedes the fewest points, with Rudy Gobert playing a key role. The robust defense is also the reason why they currently hold a record of 33-14, placing them at the top of the Northwest Division.

Fewest points allowed this season: 
◉ Minnesota Timberwolves (107.6)
◉ New York Knicks (109.8)
◉ Cleveland Cavaliers (109.8)
◉ Boston Celtics (110.7)
◉ Orlando Magic (110.8) 

Rudy Gobert has 12.5 rebounds per game and 2.1 blocks per game, placing him among the best defensive players this season. Personally, his statistics speak for themselves, clearly indicating that he is having a strong season.

Rudy Gubert season stats (per game): 
◉ 13.3 PTS
◉ 12.5 REB 
◉ 0.7 Steals per game
◉ 2.1 BLK
◉ 2.9 fouls per game

A fun game awaits on Friday as the Timberwolves welcome the Mavericks, with much attention on the opponent's Luka Doncic, who is currently unstoppable. However, if there is a defense that can stop him, it's the Timberwolves.
