After Action Report
The Timberwolves demolished the Rockets 115-88. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
