After Action Report
The Rockets snuck past the Timberwolves 115-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Rockets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
