After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves squeaked past the Rockets 110-107. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. 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. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

  • 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.
