Rockets forward Dillon Brooks and Atlanta guard Trae Young were assessed a double technical foul in the fourth quarter of Houston's 100-96 win on Tuesday in Atlanta. It came a critical stretch as Atlanta had gone on a 15-2 run to cut Houston's lead to three points with under a minute remaining.

Anthony Edwards dominated the struggling Knicks, who were again outplayed in the fourth quarter, again barraged by 3-pointers and again lost handily, 116-99, Friday night to the Timberwolves.

Tuesday's game between the Houston Rockets and the Atlanta Hawks got chippy as Dillon Brooks and Trae Young got into a scuffle.

With just about 50 seconds left in the game, Brooks knocked Young down on the perimeter. As the action paused due to teammate Dyson Daniels converting an and-1 layup, Young seized the moment to retaliate. He nonchalantly drove his shoulder into Brooks as he walked by.

Anthony Edwards scored 36 points, going 12-for-21 from the field in Minnesota’s 116-99 win over the Knicks to help them climb back to .500.

Young finished with a team-high 27 points but shot an inefficient 8-of-22 from the field. He turned the ball over nine times to just six assists, his decision-making troubles exacerbated under the pressure Bridges applied from the opening tip.

Now about halfway through the NBA season, the Timberwolves have yet to replicate their success from a year ago. The additions they made for Towns haven't fit in well and it has made some wonder if they will look to make a move ahead of the NBA trade deadline.
