The Houston Rockets, having dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves of late, will not be able to claim a clean sweep in the first round of the 2018 NBA Playoffs. Houston enters Game 4 up 2-1 and favored by -5.5. SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE
The T-Wolves dominated Houston at home with a final score of 121-105 Saturday.
Jimmy Butler hit four 3-pointers among his 28 points and Karl-Anthony Towns snapped back from a bad start to the series with 18 points and 16 rebounds, leading the Timberwolves past the Rockets 121-105 in Game 3 on Saturday night for their first postseason victory in 14 years.
”This city deserves being in the playoffs a little bit longer,” Butler said. ”We’ll see what we have. But as long as we guard, as long as we defend, we’ll put ourselves in a good enough position to win.”
Of course Minnesota has their work cut out for them. Not only does Houston lead the league with most wins, they have won eight of the last nine games against the Timberwolves.
For sports bettors the Timberwolves are 6-1 Against The Spread in their last 7 games overall while the NBA Betting Power Ratings only indicate a line of Houston -2.
