HOUSTON – The Timberwolves played the Rockets three times in January, and even though Houston is the worst team in the league, none of the matchups were a breeze for the Wolves, including Monday.
The Wolves' lack of focus against Houston finally cost them in a 119-114 loss.
After the teams were tied at halftime, the Wolves committed 10 turnovers in the third quarter and fell behind by nine. They never made it all the way back despite cutting it to 100-99 in the fourth.
Jalen Green, who struggled on Saturday, finished with 42 points. D'Angelo Russell had 30 for Minnesota while Anthony Edwards had 31 points on 9-for-20 shooting.
