After Action Report
The Timberwolves rolled past the Trail Blazers 112-88. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
