Wolves at Rockets tonight

You’d think there might be no worse mismatch for the Wolves’ undersized lineup that Yao Ming and the Houston Rockets.

And you’d be right.

At least in the first quarter it has been tonight, but not the way you might think.

Al Jefferson torched the big fella, among others, for 17 points and eight rebounds in the first quarter alone and the Wolves went from being behind 8-0 early to as much as an 11-point lead, thanks in part to a 20-2 run.

They led 27-20 after a quarter.
