After Action Report

In Houston, the Timberwolves survived the Rockets 119-117. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. The Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Rockets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
