After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Timberwolves 119-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
