After Action Report
The Timberwolves handled the Rockets 122-106. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
