After Action Report
The Timberwolves downed the Rockets 100-81. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
