Timberwolves Edge Rockets in Narrow Victory

The Houston Rockets faced a tough loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves, losing 113-112 after relinquishing a late lead. Despite a stellar performance by Alperen Sengun, who scored 38 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, the Rockets struggled in the fourth quarter as the Timberwolves continued to excel with their three-point shooting. Minnesota's Anthony Edwards played a crucial role, hitting key shots to regain the lead late in the game. The Rockets were also hampered by fatigue from playing back-to-back games, which may have contributed to their inability to close out the match. Houston entered the game with a four-game winning streak but could not maintain their momentum against the Timberwolves, who ended a three-game losing streak with this win. The Rockets were missing key players Dillon Brooks and Tari Eason due to injuries, complicating their efforts against a resurgent Minnesota team.
