After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Rockets outlasted the Timberwolves 115-107. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
