Don’t look now, but the Portland Trail Blazers might be back on track. Coming out on top in their dogfight with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the win is Portland’s second in a row. The final score: 113-105.
Rip City improves to 15-11, while Minnesota drops to 13-13 on the year.
The Blazers led most of the way throughout the second and third on the back of solid performances and good defense, but a Timberwolves run (along with an incredible Josh Okogie off-the-back-board play) in the second half made things interesting down the stretch.
But the Blazers didn’t whither.
