Blazers Defeat Timberwolves, Start 1-0 in NBA Cup

The Portland Trail Blazers took on the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday night in the season’s first set of NBA Cup games. The Blazers came out the gate strong and never let up, cruising to a 122-108 victory at The Moda Center.

If you missed the first 11 games of the season and decided to tune into tonight’s game, you would assume the Trail Blazers were undefeated and showcasing the top defense and three-point shooting in the league. Sadly this is not the case, but it was fun to see what this young Portland team is capable of against one of the NBA elite squads, who just two games ago beat the Blazers by 25 points.
