After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Rockets 107-103. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
