After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 127-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Timberwolves carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
