After Action Report
The Trail Blazers downed the Timberwolves 107-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers couldn't shake the cold spell; Timberwolves' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
