After Action Report
The Trail Blazers held off the Timberwolves 101-95. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
