After Action Report

The Trail Blazers edged the Timberwolves 115-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
