After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Timberwolves 115-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
