Not that it matters but Gobert had 5 rebounds. Drummond with more boards than Sabonis, Kat and Gobert combined. I wonder if any single player has ever had more rebounds than Gobert/Sabonis combined on a night all three played.

Not that it matters but Gobert had 5 rebounds.

So he did. I must have gotten his line and McDaniels' crossed up.
