After Action Report
The Timberwolves took care of the Trail Blazers 101-86. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. 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. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
