After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Trail Blazers 109-107. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
