Minnesota Timberwolves Look to Bounce Back Against Struggling Houston Rockets
The Minnesota Timberwolves (27-14) will be on the road tonight as they take on the slumping Houston Rockets (23-15). With a four-game road trip already underway, the Timberwolves are looking to bounce back from their last outing, which saw them edge out the Milwaukee Bucks 139-106.
The Rockets, on the other hand, are reeling after a disappointing loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Despite Kevin Durant's 19 points, Houston shot just 33.7% and struggled from beyond the arc, going 7-of-24.
Without their top players Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert, the Timberwolves have shown resilience, with Julius Randle posting a season-high 29 points in their last game. Bones Hyland chipped in with 23 points off the bench, while Naz Reid added 19 points to help seal the win.
The Rockets will be looking to get back on track, but they face a tough challenge against the Timberwolves' offense, which has been clicking at 59.8% overall and hitting 52.4% from three-point range. The matchup is shaping up to be a real barnburner, with two teams fighting for a win.

. Anyway, back to basketball... I'm not really sure if the Timberwolves have what it takes to beat the Rockets, but Julius Randle is definitely on fire right now 
. I wonder if he'd be any good at playing video games, though? 
. They're struggling on offense and defense, and their top players aren't even healthy right now. I'm kinda rooting for the Timberwolves, they've been doing well and seem to have a good system going 
. Julius Randle is killing it, 29 points? That's insane! But, at the same time, the Rockets need to step up their game if they wanna make the playoffs this year. It's gonna be a tough one tonight, but I'm hyped for some exciting hoops 
️
gotta feel bad for kevin durant too, not getting the help he needs on that team 
timberwolves are looking strong tho, gonna be interesting to see how they match up against the rockets' defense 
. I mean, they've been on a roll lately, especially without their top players Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert. Julius Randle has stepped up big time, scoring 29 points in their last game, and Bones Hyland has been a beast off the bench with 23 points 
. Meanwhile, the Rockets are struggling to find their footing after that tough loss to the Thunder, and they don't have the firepower to take down the Timberwolves' high-powered offense 
. The question is, can Houston get back on track after this game? They've got some tough road ahead of them if they wanna make a push for the playoffs 
.
the timberwolves have been on fire lately and i think they're gonna take down the rockets! 
julius randle is on a roll and bones hyland's benching was pure genius 
meanwhile, the rockets need to step up their game - kevin durant can't carry them all by himself 
hopefully this one's a real thriller
