After Action Report
The Rockets blew the doors off the Timberwolves 131-101. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
