After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 134-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
