After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Trail Blazers demolished the Timberwolves 141-113. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
