After Action Report

The Timberwolves pulled away from the Rockets 109-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Rockets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
