Strong start for Minnesota, ratifying the good feelings of the preseason with a crushing victory against some Rockets who could not stand at any time, being in evidence the youth and inexperience of its establishment in full reconstruction. A meeting where the Wolves figures made a big difference: 30 points (11-15 field) and 10 rebounds for Towns; 29 points (6-12 triples) and 6 rebounds for Edwards; and 22 units and 7 assists for Russell.

The duel was practically defined at halftime, but despite this the entry of Bolmaro was made to wait almost until the closing, who jumped onto the court with 4m40s to play to officially become the 15th Argentine in the NBA. He missed his only field goal after a nice penetration, but on the closing came his first points from the free line after a foul by Nwaba.

He starts from behind in the rotation, but little by little he will try to earn his place in the team as he acclimates in the league.
