The Timberwolves wanted to show that their effort in Monday's win against Denver wasn't just a blip. Wednesday's matchup against Portland represented a chance for the Wolves to begin stacking victories after dropping six straight prior to Monday.
The Wolves picked up the win 113-106 as they did just enough in the fourth quarter.
Anthony Edwards finished with 32 on 11-for-26 and had a key three-pointer to extend a 102-100 Wolves lead to five with 3 minutes, 8 seconds remaining.
Rudy Gobert pitched in 17 and 12 rebounds while Damian Lillard had 27 for Portland on 7-for-18 shooting.
