After Action Report

The Rockets held off the Timberwolves 106-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
