    Vonleh fought his fucking ass off on the boards, going up against bigger dudes. He's growing before our eyes.

    Allen Crabbe is the second Trail Blazer to make 8+ 3-pointers on 80%+ 3-PT shooting (Wesley Matthews, 8-10 at SAC, 4/15/12).

    Portland improves to 10-5 in divisional games (best in the Northwest Division), including a 7-0 mark at home.

    Minnesota's 11 points in the 4th quarter are the fewest by the Timberwolves and the fewest allowed by Portland in any quarter this year.

    His hustle was awesome in the third. But his skill and feel for the game make it impossible to keep him on the floor for more than 3 or 4 min stretches

    Minnesota missed a ton of shots in the 4th they made in the first 3 quarters. Back to back fatigue I guess but I'll take it.

    He's been earning it, not his fault he doesn't get used more.

    And the game balls go to...

    Crabbe and his amazing 3 point shooting.
    Turner with his D on Wiggins.
    Vonleh for his hustle and heart all game long.

    The game ball goes to MIN for being absolutely inept - thanks for letting us eke out that win!

    And of course Crabbe - his shooting was amazing. Kinda sad we needed such a performance to beat MIN, but whatevs.
