House Playoff Update: Timberwolves Put Up Win Against Rockets

By Danny Rizzuto - The Rockets and Timberwolves squared off in the 11th/12th grade house league this past Wednesday and resulted in a Timberwolves win. The final score was 46 – 39 which removes the Rockets from the playoffs. Senior John Foster and junior Nicky Neville both led a strong Timberwolves offense to victory. Greens Farms Academy junior Eric Walsh and junior Bobby Minion played well but could not spark a win for the Rockets. The game started off strong for the Timberwolves, who enjoyed a comfortable lead in the beginning, but the Rockets fought back to bring it to a tie. But then with around eight minutes to go the Timberwolves caught fire and ran away with the win. The Timberwolves will look to ride this momentum into tomorrow’s matchup against the Suns (February 17th). Earlier today, the Thunder beat the Spurs 43 - 40 to advance to the Championship on March 14th. The Spurs will play again on an undecided date to try and make it to the championships March 4th.
