After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Timberwolves 123-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
