​The Timberwolves had no business beating the Rockets in Houston on Wednesday night. Not without Anthony Edwards and TJ Shannon, and certainly not against a healthy Houston team that entered the game 7-1 and unbeaten at home. But Minnesota pulled off a stunning 117-107 upset, and the numbers behind the victory are almost as remarkable as the result itself.Ball, Kuminga and Clark showThe wildest stat is that the Wolves outscored the Rockets 26-13 over the final seven minutes. The guys who did the damage were LaMelo Ball, Jonathan Kuminga and Jaylen Clark. Ball had scored eight points in the first quarter and then failed to score until he went bonkers after the Rockets took a 94-91 lead with just over seven minutes left in the fourth quarter. He ripped off eight straight points in 51 seconds to give Minnesota a 99-96 with 6:04 remaining. Kuminga then scored eight straight, starting with a three-pointer with 2:37 remaining and finishing with a three with 54 seconds to go, the latter serving as the final nail in Houston’s coffin. Ball (12 points), Kuminga (8 points) and Clark (6 points) combined to shoot 9-for-9, including 6-for-6 from three, for 26 of Minnesota’s 35 fourth-quarter points. Typically, the fourth quarter would be Ant-Man’s time to shine. Doing what they did against a high-quality Houston team speaks volumes about Minnesota’s depth and scoring punch. Rudy dominated SengunWolves blogger Charlie Walton dug up this gem: “Alperen Sengun didn’t make a single field goal tonight while Rudy Gobert was on the court.”In 28 minutes with Gobert on the court, Sengun scored six points on 0-for-9 shooting. All six points came from the free-throw line. In 10 minutes with Gobert on the bench, Sengun scored 11 points on 5-for-6 shooting. Sengun actually finished with a triple-double: 17 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists. However, Gobert was plus-11 and Sengun was minus-7. Who won the matchup? Rudy. Ayo lived in the paintAyo Dosunmu might be the NBA’s most underrated guard. His ability to create his own shot, specifically by blowing by defenders and scoring in the paint, is extremely underrated. At one point against the Rockets, Dosunmu was 8-for-8 in the paint. He finished with 21 points, and all 10 of his makes were in the paint. Ayo Dosunmu lived in the paint against Houston. Bones was an unsung heroBones Hyland may not get a ton of playing time when Edwards and Shannon are healthy, but he earned his keep with an uber-efficient performance, scoring 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting in just 16 minutes. He knocked down four three-pointers and dished out four assists. Surviving without AntWhen Edwards was ruled out for roughly two months with a knee injury and surgery in October, the Wolves were instantly pushed into survival mode. Staying afloat in the Western Conference until Edwards’ return, likely in January, is all that mattered. So far, so good. They’ve won three of four games without Edwards, and the lone loss was a tight one in San A
