After Action Report

The Timberwolves edged the Trail Blazers 98-92. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
