After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers took care of the Timberwolves 118-106. Trail Blazers torched the Timberwolves on the offensive end. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
