After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Trail Blazers 124-104. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
