The Timberwolves took care of the Trail Blazers 96-80. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
