After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 124-103. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
