Houston Rockets guard Dillon Brooks is renowned as one of the NBA’s best defenders and leading trash talkers. The latter didn’t help Houston’s top stopper Thursday night.
The Rockets blew a six-point fourth-quarter lead and allowed 35 fourth-quarter points in Thursday’s 127-114 loss at the Minnesota Timberwolves. Minnesota guard and three-time All-Star Anthony Edwards finished the evening with 41 points and 16 in the fourth quarter, and postgame, he tabbed Brooks’ antics as a leading reason for the late-game comeback.
"Once me and Dillon Brooks got into it, the fatigue went out the way," Edwards told the media at Target Center.
