After Action Report
The Timberwolves stunned the Trail Blazers 124-117. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers steamroller is in full effect right now. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
