Derrick Rose Leads Wolves in Defense-Heavy First Half In Houston
(NBA.com Minnesota Timberwolves)

The Rockets have the best offense in the NBA, but through two quarters the Wolves have leaned on hard-nosed defense and rebounding and played the Rockets well in a game that has been a bit of a slugfest at times. On offense, Derrick Rose has paced Minnesota, getting to the rim seemingly at will, and showcasing the speed and quickness that he was known for earlier in his career.
