After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers pulled away from the Timberwolves 124-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
