After Action Report
The Trail Blazers held off the Timberwolves 107-100 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping.
