After Action Report
The Timberwolves blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 136-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
