In a nail bitting game, Minnesota got up for the win scoring 119 points compared to Houston who finished on 116 points. This one really went down to the wire, both teams hand their chances, with Houston not being able to get over the line. In the battle of the boards, Minnesota got up, pulling down 43 rebounds, compared to Houston with 37 rebounds. J. Butler was awesome today, and deserved the Player of the game, scoring a handy 45 points while in the process ripping down 3 rebounds and handing out 3 assists.
