After Action Report

The Timberwolves edged the Rockets 113-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
