The Timberwolves aren't nearly in the same class as the Rockets. They were destroyed in the first two games of this series, but then won Game 3 at home. That was Minnesota's first home playoff game since 2004. The crowd and team were super fired-up.

I don't see that continuing. The Rockets had their one bad game of the series. I doubut Houston is flat for a second consecutive game. I also don't see the Timberwolves being able to match last game's fever intensity. That was a special game and the Timberwolves shot out of their minds connecting on 15 of 27 three-point shots.

Minnesota normally doesn't launch that many 3-pointers, or play quality defense like it did in Game 3.

Ryan Anderson is back for Houston giving the Rockets another sharpshooter to go with James Harden, Chris Paul, Eric Gordon and Trevor Ariza.

The Timberwolves haven't matched up well to the Rockets. Minnesota has lost to the Rockets in 20 of the past 23 meetings even with its Game 3 win.
