After Action Report
The Trail Blazers knocked off the Timberwolves 111-101. Every possession went the Trail Blazers way. The Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
