After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Rockets squeaked past the Timberwolves 107-103. Rockets' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
