After Action Report

In a track meet, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 127-104. Timberwolves torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke; shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
