After some time off, the series returns to discuss the Trail Blazers’ midseason crash.

Rudy Gobert had 24 points and 17 rebounds, Karl-Anthony Towns scored 23 points and the Minnesota Timberwolves cruised to a 116-93 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night. Gobert returned after missing one game with left hip soreness. The twin tower duo of Gobert and Towns dominated an undermanned and young Portland squad that was on the second game of a back-to-back after losing 139-77 in Oklahoma City a night earlier, matching the fifth-biggest loss in NBA history.

Portland got down early and couldn’t pull off a comeback.

Minnesota regained the top spot in the Western Conference with the win, but the Wolves had run into trouble recently, particularly on the offensive end. They had lost four of six games and were plagued by turnovers.

The Blazers look a lot different this season but what’s happening with some of the guys on last year’s roster.

The Portland Trail Blazers land an intriguing rookie forward and multiple first-round picks from a panicking Western Conference team in this mock trade.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 31 points, Josh Giddey had a triple-double and the Oklahoma City Thunder rolled past the Portland Trail Blazers 139-77 on Thursday night, a 62-point victory that matched the fifth-largest rout in NBA history. “It was almost like a perfect storm, to be honest with you," Portland coach Chauncey Billups said. Oklahoma City shattered its previous record for victory margin of 45 points, set twice during the 2012-13 season.
