After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves took care of the Rockets 116-105. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Rockets. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
