The Wolves being 27th in the league in the frequency with which they turn it over is a reminder, for me, that this team is younger than it feels.
They turn it over at a rate that would annoy you if they were as young as Houston (whose turnover rate is close to the Wolves’). – 11:41 PM

The last time the #Rockets lost a game while shooting 50.0% or better, having more 3FGM than their opponent, and outrebounding the opposition by 10+ boards was vs. Minnesota on 2/17/92.
Houston has won its previous 83 games under those circumstances entering tonight. – 11:40 PM

In regards to John Wall telling Green and Porter that they wouldn’t be able to get away with the things they get away with in Houston anywhere else, I asked Silas if he’s handled them different than other young player he’s coached and how does he hold players accountable: pic.twitter.com/gA0PyTW8Jm – 6:53 PM

The Nuggets have a +16.1 Net Rating in first quarters this year, which is by far the best Net Rating of any team in any quarter.
The only teams with a higher first quarter Net Rating in the last 20 years are the 17-18 Rockets, 15-16 Warriors, and 09-10 Cavs. – 6:53 PM
