Rockets Wallop Wolves Monday
The Houston Rockets beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 119-100 Monday night at Target Center in game four of their playoff series. The Rockets now lead the best-of-seven series 3-1.

The Rockets hit 16 of their 43 three-point attempts, while the Wolves shot just 8-22 from beyond the arc, one game after connecting on 15 of 27 in their game three win.
Karl-Anthony Towns led Minnesota with 22 points and 15 rebounds, while Jimmy Butler added 19 points and Derrick Rose contributed 17 off the bench. James Harden led the Rockets with a game-high 36 points.
