In Minnesota, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Rockets 107-84. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Rockets. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
