The Houston Rockets came into tonight tilt with the Minnesota Timberwolves two games ahead of the Rip City Blazers for the #4 slot in the West. The T'Wolves came into tonight's game running on finishing above the .500 mark and creating some "MO" for the 2014-15 season. As expected James Harden went off for the Red Nation Rockets but another Earthling unexpectedly joined him playing on the O-Zone Layer.

The 'Wolves led 39-32 after one and took the lead into Intermission 63-59 behind Harden and Chandler Parsons. The 'Wolves came out firing in the 3rd as the whole 2nd half belong to 'Wolves Vet SF Corey Brewer. The Rockets leading 84-82 after three went back and forth with the 'Wolves leading 110-107 Rockets All-Star Shooting Guard James Harden his a game-tying Money ball with 17.3 left. Then for the game-winner "La Pistola" of Spain "Wolves PG Ricky Rubio set up Louisville Rook Big Gorgui Deng with a "J" with 4.6 left.

The Rockets loss was costly as they now are only a game in front of the Rip City Blazers for the #4 slot in the West. Harden 33 points, eight boards, and ten helpers was overshadowed by the 'Wolves Corey "Brew Crew" Brewer who went for 51 points on 19 of 30 from the field. Parsons added 27 points to back up Harden and Dieng (12 pts 20 rebs) and Love (20 pts 13 rebs) backed up Brewer.

360 Degrees...there was a reason why Florida Gators Lead Man Billy Donovan went back to back with current Bulls All-Star Joakim Noah, Hawks All-Star Al Horford, and the underrated Corey Brewer.
