After Action Report
The Timberwolves fended off the Rockets 91-85. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
