After Action Report
The Timberwolves took care of the Rockets 96-83. The Rockets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
