After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves survived the Rockets 100-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
