The Portland Trail Blazers will welcome the Minnesota Timberwolves to the Moda Center at the Rose Quarter for an NBA game on Monday. The Blazers won 124-118 in their last game over the Timberwolves.  Damian Lillard had 36 points and eight assists, Anfernee Simons added 31 points and the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 124-118 on Saturday night. Portland overcame a 10-point deficit in the second half to beat Minnesota in the opener of a two-game set. They will meet again in Portland on Monday night.

Jerami Grant added 17 points for Portland, and Jusuf Nurkic had 15 rebounds. Drew Eubanks scored 10 points, two on a ferocious dunk on Rudy Gobert. “I was just like Drew is bouncy, but Rudy Gobert like he’s so tall and long, he always get to it. He always kind of stands under the rim so I said, `Let’s see how this one go,’” Lillard said about Eubanks’ slam. “And he got ’em!”

The Timberwolves on the other hand lost 124-118 against the Blazers in their last game.  Anthony Edwards led Minnesota with 26 points, and Gobert and D’Angelo Russell had 24 points apiece. Portland’s third-quarter rally started on the defensive end, but there were no big strategic adjustments. Rather, it was the players who sparked the defensive change in themselves.

“I think it was our guys in the huddle challenging each other,” Blazers coach Chauncey Billups said about what changed defensively. “They were pretty upset with each other giving up baskets so easily. By the way, (Minnesota) can do that to you. They can make you look that way. But at the same time our guys had a lot of pride. It was really them. It wasn’t me, it was them talking to each other.”
