After Action Report

The Trail Blazers outlasted the Timberwolves 106-93. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Timberwolves' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
