After Action Report

In a track meet, the Timberwolves buried the Trail Blazers 135-89. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
