After Action Report

The Trail Blazers held off the Timberwolves 119-111. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
