After Action Report
In Houston, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Rockets 119-71. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
