The Algoma girls basketball team achieved their first victory of the season, overcoming a 13-point deficit to defeat Luxemburg-Casco 62-60 in an overtime thriller. Brooke Mattson's late-game steal and basket sent the game into overtime, where she scored the decisive points to secure the win. In the NBA, the Houston Rockets edged out the Minnesota Timberwolves 117-111 in another overtime match, with Alperen Sengun, Fred VanVleet, and Dillon Brooks contributing significantly to Houston's success. Despite leading late in regulation, the Timberwolves fell apart in overtime, unable to recover after a series of turnovers. Minnesota's Anthony Edwards and rookie Rob Dillingham had strong performances, but their efforts were not enough to overcome Houston's late-game surge. Both teams faced challenges, with Minnesota missing starting point guard Mike Conley and Houston's young roster proving its potential with solid defensive plays.
