The Portland Trail Blazers lost a winnable game to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, 113-106, that saw high effort but sloppy play. This brings their season record to 19-18, leaving them in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference standings.
The team is trying to distinguish itself as a member of the upper echelon in the West but has struggled to do so as other teams begin to create separation. What is the current problem? Star guard Damian Lillard told reporters after the game that consistency has been Portland’s biggest issue.
