After Action Report

The Timberwolves edged the Rockets 106-98. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Timberwolves; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • 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.
