The Portland Trail Blazers (13 - 4) defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves (4 - 11) 107 - 93 on Sunday at the Moda Center in Oregon. The Blazers had a strong sencond quarter both offensively and defensively. They were able to hold the Timberwolves to only 14 points, while also scoring 26 of their own. The Blazers were able to take a 54 - 43 rebounding advantage, which may have also given them exactly what they needed to pull out the victory at home Monday. LaMarcus Aldridge and Wes Matthews did most of the damage to the Timberwolves in this game. Aldridge went an efficient 11 - for - 17 from the floor to score 26 points, while also grabbing 15 rebounds. He's now recorded four double - doubles in the past five games, increasing his season total to seven. Matthews on the other hand shot 8 - for - 13 from the field and 6 - for - 10 from beyond the arc to score 23 points combined with six rebounds. He's now averaging 26 points in his last three games, as he's been on fire of late. Damian Lillard struggled from deep in this one. He was only able to hit 1 - of - 7 three - pointers, but still contributed 17 points and eight assists in 36 minutes. He's averaging 20 points and 7 assists on the season. Nicolas Batum was the only other Blazer to reach double - digit points with 10. Despite being questionable with an illness coming into Sunday's game, Andrew Wiggins made the start and tried to play through it. He only ended up recording 18 minutes though, while finishing with seven points. Most of the Timberwolves production came from Shabazz Muhammad and Maurice Williams. Muhammad had arguably his best game of the season. He shot 12 - for - 17 from the field and 4 - for - 8 from the free throw line to score a season - high 28 points. He has n't reached the 20 - point mark yet this season, so it was a surprise performance for the forward who benefitted from the extra time he was given. Williams also had a big game and finished with 21 points and 11 assists. It was his third double - double in a row and fourth in five games. Thaddeus Young and Gorgui Dieng had 14 points and 11 points respectively in the loss.
