After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Trail Blazers took care of the Timberwolves 125-115. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
