After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Timberwolves 128-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
