In a very candid interview, John Wall detailed his experience with the Houston Rockets and why the relationship eventually soured.
Wall didn’t mince words, saying his stint in Houston was “trash” and that “it’s just a bad organization right now.” basketballnews.com/stories/john-w… – 1:59 PM

Anthony Edwards propelled the Wolves all night, while getting very little help through the first three quarters. Finishes with 44 points (8/16 from 3, 9/13 from 2).
Then help came in the 4th from Knight, Rivers, DLo and Anderson. Enough for the win.

Jalen Green gets picked in the backcourt by Austin Rivers, leading to a fast break basket. It’s his 6th turnover. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” says Ryan Hollins. “This is just absurd,” says Craig Ackerman. #Rockets have 23 turnovers. – 10:17 PM

Two huge defensive plays from Austin Rivers on consecutive possessions with under five minutes left in the game — and it was contagious, sparking the next possession where Anderson got a steal that led to the DLo oop to Ant in transition. – 10:17 PM

Over the last 3 games, Raptors have dodged Giannis, Middleton, Towns, Gobert & Tatum (with Lopez, Smart and Rob Williams leaving early). They led by 9, 18 & 11 pts in those games, have an 0-3 record to show for it. They lost the last 2 by 4 pts after being outscored 52-36 in 4thQ – 7:18 PM

Since Kevin Porter Jr.’s bruised left foot is still painful, Rockets coach Stephen Silas said he will be reevaluated in about a week. Jabari Smith Jr. is also out. – 6:33 PM

I think this possession is a good example of how scheme contributes to the Wolves poor defensive rebounding.
When Gobert is off the floor, they want to show the big and, with the guard, push the ball east/west. But when that ball-handler still opts to shoot, they’re susceptible. pic.twitter.com/G14xiZmZPV – 2:10 PM
