Houston Rockets vs Minnesota Timberwolves Final Score & Over/Under Result — Mar 25, 2026

Minnesota edged Houston 110–108 in overtime, a two-point thriller that landed well short of expectations despite a furious fourth quarter and the extra frame. The Timberwolves and Rockets combined for 218 points, falling 4.5 points under the 222.5 market total, as the scoring trajectory told a tale of escalating offense followed by defensive tightening when it mattered most.

The first half unfolded as a measured affair, with 87 combined points through 24 minutes—neither team able to establish decisive rhythm. The second half flipped the script dramatically. The third quarter alone produced 51 combined points, and the fourth quarter became a shootout with 52 combined points, setting up a deadlocked regulation. Overtime added just 28 combined points, a stark deceleration that ultimately cost the under.

Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant each scored 30 points for Houston, with Durant adding 8 assists, while Jabari Smith Jr. contributed 16 points and 12 rebounds off the bench. Minnesota's Julius Randle posted 24 points and 6 assists, and Jaden McDaniels added 25 points. The Timberwolves' recent form—114.0 points per game over their last 10—proved sufficient to survive a dual-scoring threat from the Rockets, though barely. DAGGER leaned under and missed, as the final total stopped just shy of the threshold.
