After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Timberwolves 118-112. Trail Blazers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
