After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers demolished the Timberwolves 124-100. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
