Following wins in their latest NBA Western Conference fixtures, the Houston Rockets and Minnesota Timberwolves will eye consecutive victories when they battle at the Toyota Centre on Thursday.
The Timberwolves claimed a 112-100 win over the Milwaukee Bucks at the Target Centre on Tuesday with LaMelo Ball stealing the show by recording 34 points alongside Ayo Dosunmu, who noted the second-highest score for his team with 19.
Minnesota recorded five wins and three losses this season and will enter the game sitting in eighth position on the Western Conference.
Reflecting on the Timberwolves’ latest win, coach Chris Finch expressed that his side needs to work on increasing their game pace while remaining defensively sound.
“But we weren’t running well off of defensive rebounding, and we’ve been playing good defense and making people miss,’ Finch said.
“And when we’ve been able to get clean rebounds, we just weren’t running. So we’ve got to continue to find ways to put pace in the game.”

The Houston Rockets took home a 109-93 win against Boston Celtics at the Toyota Center on Tuesday, as they took their tally to seven wins and one loss in first place on the Western Conference standings.
Spurred on by Alperen Sengun, the Rockets center scored 26 points in 38 minutes, while Jabari Smith Jr and Amen Thompson scored 14 points each.
Speaking after Houston’s latest win, coach Ime Udoka expressed that his side outran Celtics on the court, which paved the way for a strong second-half of the match.
“We really in the second half created a lot of turnovers,” Udoka said.
“They missed some shots, we got out and ran, and that’s what kind of broke it open. Our activity was pretty good when we did go to switching. I think we made plays on certain guys, and our scramble was really good.
“I gave guys kudos for that, for outrunning them to that extent. That’s what really helped break it open in the second half.”
