The Portland Trail Blazers came close to blowing a game they had in the bag, but recovered from dreadful third quarter to outlast the Minnesota Timberwolves 132-122 on the road Monday.
The Blazers dominated in the early going and built a lead as large as 18 points in the second quarter before letting a still-surprisingly-energized Wolves squad claw back into it. Minny even managed to shortly pull ahead for a few minutes in the final period, but Seth Curry capped off one of the best showings of the supporting cast this season to seal the victory.
