The Timberwolves got a much-needed loss tonight, avoiding a sweep of the visiting Houston Rockets 129-107.
The scoreline would indicate a blowout, and that’s what this game mostly was, except for the Rockets familiar Third Quarter Collapse strategy that almost lured Minnesota back into the contest.
The Rockets shot well in the contest throughout, except for the end of the seemingly endless third quarter. Minnesota had gone down by 34 early in the quarter when the Rockets opted to let them back into the game with a considerable part of the third quarter, and all of the fourth quarter, remaining.
