What happened in the Rockets vs. Wolves overtime game?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily presented by Amazon Prime for March 26, 2026. I'm Dave DeFore here with Zena Keita. Coming up, the Rockets had an epic overtime collapse. We're going to update the Western Conference standings. Joel Embiid was back. The Celtics beat the Thunder. We got Jay King. Busy show. Good morning, everybody. What's up, Zena? Crazy night last night.
I'm reeling. That is actually the wildest basketball game we have seen from a strictly basketball perspective. We've seen fights over the year, but we have not seen ups and downs, runs, folks getting kicked out, teams coming back from deficits.
How did Joel Embiid impact the 76ers' performance?
This is crazy.
let's talk about it let's get into it rockets wolves was an adventure uh celtics thunder was a finals preview shout out to andrew schlecht guys before we start talking about the game i want to let you know if you are listening on apple podcast you can now watch video there too just update to the latest ios head to our show page start watching you can look at me and xena and our bright beautiful smiling faces okay podcast perfect yeah Now, on to the basketball, guys.
What were the highlights of the Celtics' victory over the Thunder?
Rockets-Wolves, in case you didn't see it, was a roller coaster. We had a little bit of everything. Number one, the Minnesota Timberwolves shorthanded. No Anthony Edwards. You think these two teams, they're deadlocked into standings. They're fighting over the five-seed. OK, huge game. Maybe Ant would try to give it a go. He's not ready. He was there in street clothes, though. That's that's kind of a good sign. It means maybe he's coming back soon.
He warmed up before the game, got some reps in, but wasn't able to go.
Yeah, this game was to say it was weird would be an understatement. The offense is really just struggled. No one could shoot. Kevin Durant was off to having one of the worst games of his career. He started the game three of 15. Just an absurd night from Kevin Durant. And then all of a sudden the fourth quarter happens. And the last five minutes, Kevin Durant can't miss. We get a foul call when the Minnesota Timberwolves have a lead. With a two-point lead at the end of regulation, Shingun hits the... Or, excuse me, it was a one-point lead at the end of regulation. Shingun hits the free throw, ties the game up, makes a huge clutch block at the other end. We go to overtime, and the Rockets just... They look like they had another gear, Zena.
Like... Where was all this energy, you know, earlier, right? Like their comeback was maybe a little bit too late. And then, you know, they had to slug it out. And they all of a sudden they just look like they were just the fresher team. Obviously, no Rudy Gobert out there because he fouled out on that foul on Shingun. I mean, it's just I don't know. The Rockets are so confusing.
Yeah.
It's so interesting that you talk about like, where was the energy at? Because it was the second game of the night for us to watch. That was also another overtime game between Atlanta and Detroit. And when Asar Thompson was asked about, you know, where could the energy have come from from Detroit? He asked, I wish you would have had it Earlier in the game, because Detroit ended up losing that game in overtime, one point loss to Atlanta. So it was the same same energy for or lack of energy throughout the game for Houston. And Kevin Durant picked it up. And I've got to say, Jaden McDaniels played his butt off on defense on Kevin Durant throughout the entirety of the game. It wasn't until that fourth quarter he leaves the game with an injury.
And, you know, for the most part, it was they got KD. We got Jada McDaniels to quote Anthony Edwards. And all of a sudden, KD was like, oh, you know, this is time for me.
Nobody can guard him.
Nobody could guard him except one person at a monumental block. And that was Rudy Gobert, a step back two point attempt to win the game for Houston. It wasn't enough. Rudy Gobert blocks the shot and it basically goes to overtime going into everything that you just laid out. It was wild to watch Minnesota go down 13 points in overtime and then they had their run.
