After Action Report
In a track meet, the Rockets took care of the Timberwolves 130-111. The breakneck pace played right into Rockets' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Rockets; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
