After Action Report

The Timberwolves pulled away from the Rockets 97-79. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
