After Action Report

The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Rockets 134-89. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves steamroller is in full effect right now; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
