After Action Report

The Timberwolves survived the Rockets 102-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
