No Monday or Sunday morning blues for Wolves fans this week! The T-wolves took game 3 yesterday at home against the Houston Rockets. It was a spectacular game of dominance by the Wolves as their top four players each shot double digit points. 

The Game They Needed
​Up until last night the Timberwolves had been abysmal from 3 point. But last night was another night where the Rockets' 3 point shooting sputtered, except this time the Wolves capitalized. The Rockets went 15-41 (36.6%) from 3 and the Wolves went 15-27 (55.6%). The Wolves even had a better overall field goal percentage: Rockets 37-81 (45.7%) and the Wolves 45-90 (50.0%). While the Wolves did have less turnovers, they had less points off turnovers as well. But it wasn't all bad because the Wolves had more fast break points.

Overall
The Wolves won a home playoff game for the first time since 2004. But they are still down in the series 2-1. They will have a chance to even the series tomorrow night, again this will be at home for Game 4 with tipoff at 7 PM CT.

Go Wolves and #AllEyesNorth!
