The Rockets dropped their second game in Las Vegas at the hands of the Timberwolves.
With the Houston Rockets losing their third game of Summer League in Las Vegas, it's unlikely they'll make the playoffs, as most teams that make it are undefeated. So, the Rockets look to have a strong fourth contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves with a guaranteed fifth game coming this weekend.
The Rockets got off to a slow first quarter start, posting just 16 points in contrast to the Timberwolves' 29-point first quarter fueled by a strong start from Leonard Miller. Heading into the third quarter trailing by seven points, it was going to be a decisive frame for Houston. They won the quarter once again, cutting their deficit to just four points. In their most recent loss, they struggled mightily in the final frame, which they now had a chance to recover from.
