After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Trail Blazers 117-80. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
