Porter couldn't play playable guard after all, Green 21 points, Ethan 17+6, Rockets defeated the Timberwolves and suffered a six-game losing streak!
On November 6, the Rockets, who had lost five consecutive games, took on the Timberwolves on the road, and Rockets starting power forward Jabari Smith and Timberwolves center Gobert did not participate in the fight. In the fourth quarter, the Rockets lost to the Timberwolves 117-129, suffering the league's longest six-game losing streak and finishing at the bottom of the league with 1-9 losses, and the Timberwolves finished a three-game losing streak and finished fifth in the West with 5-5.
In the first quarter, the two sides played against each other, the Rockets trailed 34-40, and in the second quarter, the Rockets offense stalled, and the Timberwolves trailed by 19 points in the second half of 28-15 in a single quarter, and the game basically lost its suspense. Interestingly, at the end of the two quarters, Rockets starting playmaker Porter didn't have an assist (it seems that Porter really couldn't play playmaker guard, and the transformation basically failed), and starting shooting guard Green didn't grab a rebound...
