After Action Report
In Portland, the Timberwolves outlasted the Trail Blazers 117-107. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Timberwolves. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
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.
- Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
