After Action Report
The Timberwolves edged the Rockets 97-90. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
