After Action Report
The Timberwolves downed the Rockets 99-83. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Rockets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
