After Action Report
The Timberwolves edged the Trail Blazers 98-90. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
