Minnesota Timberwolves rookie Andrew Wiggins can jump really high and deliver rim-shaking dunks.

Conversely, Utah Jazz centre Rudy Gobert often times prevents such highlight-reel moves.

So it was only natural something had to give when the Canadian and Frenchman (nicknamed "The Stifle Tower") met Monday night in Minnesota.

In the end, the edge went to Wiggins, who got the better of the shot-blocking machine Gobert by a 2-1 margin.

The Canadian got things going early in the first quarter with this dunk.

Wiggins wasn't done as he then delivered this earth-shaking slam over Gobert in the second quarter.

But there's a reason Gobert is having a breakthrough season and he showed us why on this stuff of Wiggins moments later.

Despite Wiggins winning his individual battle with Gobert, the Jazz walked away with a dominant 104-84 win over the Timberwolves.
