Rockets get to the first time out up 19-16 (with Anunoby going to the line) and making 6 of 7 shots. Start very similar to in Minnesota to start the trip. The subject of defense will come up during the time out. – 7:50 PM

“What you think?”: Monty Williams on if Cameron Payne is starting.
“We’ll see.”: On if Jock Landale with Deandre Ayton instead of Torrey Craig since #Timberwolves have Karl-Anthony Towns/Rudy Gobert.

Nurse said he had a 1-on-1 meeting Wednesday w/ Precious Achiuwa, and showed him some sub-par defensive clips, says he needs to be more consistent on that end to get up to the 25-30 min range he projected for him before the season (he’s at 21 now). “He just has to play better.” – 5:59 PM

Doc on Sixers’ early season after win over Suns: “It’s been a very un-rythmatic year. Is that a word? I don’t even know if that’s a word. But if that’s a word, that’s what it’s been so far…You can just feel or rhythm coming, and that’s a good thing.”
(Unrhythmic is the word😀) – 2:24 PM

No Chris Paul (heel) or Cam Johnson (knee) against the Wolves tonight — two players who really hurt them when the two teams played last week.
Deandre Ayton didn’t play against the Wolves last week, but looks on track to play tonight. Ayton did tweak his ankle on Monday though. – 2:09 PM
