After Action Report
The Rockets survived the Timberwolves 100-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Rockets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
