The high-flying Houston Rockets suffered another big blow as the visitors bowed to the Minnesota Timberwolves for their second successive loss.
Kevin Garnett had 30 points, 17 rebounds and six assists to lead the Timberwolves to a 94-86 victory over the Rockets.
The Timberwolves started the day two-and-a-half games behind Denver for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference and now have just 14 games to make up the ground.
They played like a desperate team against the Rockets.
Garnett scored 13 of his points in the third quarter, when the Timberwolves took advantage of poor shooting by Tracy McGrady and the Rockets to pull away. |
