The Rockets overcame an early 9-point deficit with an incredible 52-20 run spanning just 16 game minutes in Wednesday's Game 2 at Toyota Center, leading to a 102-82 victory and a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-seven playoff series between Houston and Minnesota. Game 3 is Saturday night in Minneapolis. - Chris Paul bounced back from a poor showing in Game 1 with a team-high 27 points (10-of-18 FG) and 8 assists, while Gerald Green brought infectious energy off Houston's bench with 21 points and 12 rebounds — finishing with a team-best plus/minus of +27 in his 27 minutes. That included 12 points on four made three-pointers in the second quarter, when the Rockets turned a 7-point deficit into a 15-point halftime lead. - Clint Capela (8 points, 16 rebounds) again led a tremendous defensive effort by the Rockets, particularly on the interior against Karl-Anthony Towns (5 points, 2-of-9 shooting). James Harden (12 points, 7 assists, 2-of-18 FG) cooled off substantially on offense after his 44-point showing in Game 1, but it ultimately didn't matter based on the much-improved showing from the supporting cast. - Wednesday night's postgame show explores those storylines and much more, including the remarkable upside Houston may have when both Harden and the supporting cast eventually click at the same time. - #Rockets #Wolves #NBA #NBAPlayoffs - Learn more about your ad choices.
