After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves snuck past the Trail Blazers 113-108. Timberwolves controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
