After Action Report

The Timberwolves survived the Rockets 107-106. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
