Rockets Prep for Wolves After Rare Two-Day Break
The Last Chance. Broken Wall. Best of the Eleven.
Houston hosts the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night at Toyota Center. Besides the Rockets, the Wolves have the worst-record in the league. So, tonight’s game is very winnable for Houston, granted they’re inspired enough to give the needed effort required for a win. Tonight could be the Rockets last chance at getting a win this season, or the squad could be stuck on 15 wins when the season’s over. After tonight, Houston ends the season on a brutal 10-game stretch against playoff teams, including several elite contenders. If the Rockets can’t beat Minnesota on Tuesday night, expect the tank show to be in full effect after tonight.
It was announced on Monday that John Wall would miss the rest of the season. The Rockets are making the smart move and finally shutting down their injury-riddled All-Star point guard. In the action he saw this year as a Rocket, Wall was better than expected. Injuries were the former All-Star’s only downfall.
The best of the eleven games begins tonight in Houston. It might not be the best game, but it’s certainly the best chance the Rockets have at tasting victory for the rest fo this season… Tune in to see if Houston causes the Wolves to draw blood.
