After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Trail Blazers 103-101. The Timberwolves won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; 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.
