After Action Report
The Timberwolves shocked the Trail Blazers 128-97. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
