After Action Report

In a track meet, the Rockets survived the Timberwolves 113-109. Rockets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. The Rockets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
