After Action Report
The Rockets outlasted the Timberwolves 110-102. Every possession went the Rockets way. Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Rockets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
