After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Trail Blazers 95-92. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
