After Action Report

The Rockets downed the Timberwolves 112-102. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Rockets. The Rockets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
