The Houston Rockets (43-13) are now an astounding 30 games over .500 after their win tonight over the Minnesota Timberwolves (35-25). This win once again puts the Rockets just 0.5 games back of the Warriors for the No. 1 seed in the West.
The Rockets started the game off slowly. They were down by over 10 points in the first quarter, but contributions from just about everyone helped the Rockets win their 9th straight game.
Two new Rockets
Brandan Wright and Joe Johnson were not able to play tonight. Wright has officially signed and will be ready for action hopefully tomorrow night.
