After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Timberwolves 107-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
