Against Cleveland Cavaliers, although it was a closer game, Houston still managed to secure a win by putting up solid numbers on both ends of the floor. They led for most of the game and capitalized on turnovers which contributed significantly to their victory margin.


The upcoming game promises to be an exciting one as both teams have shown they can put up big numbers offensively. However, it will be crucial for Houston to continue its trend of high-scoring quarters while also tightening up defensively if they want to come out on top in Minneapolis.
