After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves held off the Trail Blazers 93-85. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
