After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Trail Blazers took care of the Timberwolves 115-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Trail Blazers lately; shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
