After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Trail Blazers 102-99. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
