After Action Report

In Portland, the Trail Blazers shocked the Timberwolves 133-127. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
