After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Rockets 130-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Rockets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
