MADRID, 4 Apr. (SportsFinding) –
The Spanish center Usman Garuba had minutes again this morning with the Houston Rockets with very good feelings, from the bench, despite the loss against Minnesota Timberwolves (132-139), in the fourth consecutive losing game this season.
Garuba added 6 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in the 15 minutes he was on court, contributing from the bench since Sengun is the starter, and he showed it with a ‘double-double’ thanks to his 14 points and 15 rebounds. The Spaniard has managed to increase his numbers in these last four games, with more than remarkable performances, in which he averages 4.8 points and 7.5 rebounds in 21 minutes.
However, these last four games in which Garba has chained minutes have ended in defeat for Houston, the worst team in the NBA with only 20 wins. A bad dynamic that Minnesota took advantage of, which delved deeper into the wound, to continue in the fight for sixth place in the West.
Against the Rockets, Edwards (33 points) and Karl Anthony Towns, with a ‘double-double’ (28 points and 11 rebounds) were the highlights of the Timberwolves’ second consecutive victory, the third in the last five games.
