After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Timberwolves 132-128. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
