After Action Report

The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Rockets 122-97. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Rockets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
