After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Trail Blazers 102-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
