After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Trail Blazers 99-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
