After Action Report
The Rockets held off the Timberwolves 115-108. Rockets' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. The Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

- 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.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
