After Action Report
The Trail Blazers edged the Timberwolves 117-110 in overtime. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
