Description
The Rockets (45-13) trailed for much of the first half, but ultimately pulled away for their 11th straight victory with an impressive 120-102 victory over Minnesota (36-26) in the first game for both teams since the All-Star break. Houston is now 3-0 vs. the Timberwolves this season.There were some signs of early rust for James Harden (31 points, 9 assists, 8-of-24 FG) and Chris Paul (14 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5-of-11 FG) after the week-plus layoff, but it ultimately didn't matter based on the strength of Clint Capela (25 points, 10-of-11 FG, 11 rebounds) on the interior vs. Karl-Anthony Towns and the collaborative contributions from the bench units in Houston's sudden 10-man rotation.In Friday's postgame show, our Ben DuBose explores those storylines and more — including the decision to stick with P.J. Tucker as the starter at power forward and how Ryan Anderson, Luc Mbah a Moute, Nene, and Joe Johnson sparked a dominant performance from the bench, even with reigning Sixth Man of the Year Eric Gordon out sick.#Rockets #NBA #Wolves Learn more about your ad choices.
