After Action Report
The Timberwolves rolled past the Rockets 130-89. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Rockets. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
