This game was very interesting for me so I put some money on the Timberwolves, since on Christmas Day the Timberwolves had a great win against one of the best teams in the West as the Mavericks, so I thought that Minnesota could make a great game against Houston.

In the first quarter the duel would start very close, the teams were studying each other but each one attacking with their best scorers, Alperen Şengün who is currently one of the NBA's fastest growing power forwards was unstoppable in the paint, not even one of the best defensive players in the league like Rudy Gobert could stop him, so he was a constant threat in the paint.

On the Timberwolves side Julius Randle was having a good offense as well as Donte DiVincenzo but he was still seeing Minnesota playing at half speed as their main star Anthony Edwards was not waking up.

The game continued slightly close but with advantage for the Houston Rockets who were dominating the paint with center Şengün as I mentioned in one of the previous paragraphs.

In the last quarter at the beginning, even though the game was not that far away for the Timberwolves I still thought they needed a reaction and I thought at that moment that if they did not wake up, the Rockets would win without problems the duel.

But Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards started to wake up, first he was looking for penetrations to the basket that were effective, little by little he was calibrating, he started to bring his team closer and put them right into the game.

But the play that opened the path to victory was a great shot from the perimeter over the mark, this play made the Timberwolves go up on the scoreboard, it was the hinge play and key for Minnesota to take the victory rowing from behind, in a game that was dominated by the Rockets almost all the game with a certain advantage.

This type of duels when a team has this kind of reaction, especially when its star player wakes up in a key moment, are the kind of games that become extremely emotional for those of us who love basketball and even more when it adds up in the betting.

I hope you have enjoyed this sports story and I think it will be the post to say goodbye to the year, unless before the new year there is a game that I visualize that surpasses this duel that I have told you, I hope you all enjoy your health and can enjoy with your loved ones.
