After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Rockets 132-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Rockets stayed locked in. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it
