Timberwolves kept focus on basketball over questionable calls and won

On Wednesday, the Minnesota Timberwolves defeated the Houston Rockets 110-108 in overtime at Target Center, though crew chief Scott Foster's officiating drew sharp criticism from the home team.
Coach Chris Finch noted Minnesota attempted 63 shots in the paint yet received only 10 free-throw attempts, compared to 25 for Houston, leaving his players "were certainly frustrated."
A flagrant foul whistled on Julius Randle for running through a screener allowed Houston to convert a four-point possession, a call Finch said he had "never seen" penalized that way.
Tensions peaked in overtime when Naz Reid was ejected after questioning a call involving Alperen Sengun, with Foster stating Reid's comment questioned the crew's integrity.
Despite the disputes, Jaden McDaniels and Rudy Gobert emphasized focusing on winning basketball, as the team overcame the officiating challenges to secure the home victory.
