After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 119-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
