The Portland Trail Blazers are getting the short end of the stick after losing 124-121 to the Minnesota Timberwolves inside the Moda Center.
The Blazers were competitive with the Blues throughout most of the game, [despite not having Deni Avdija in the lineup due to a back injury](https://www.si.com/nba/trailblazers/onsi/news/deni-avdija-injury-leads-portland-trail-blazers-falling-power-rankings). They did not have enough in the tank in the fourth quarter, which led to the loss.
Blazers Can't Get It Done vs. Wolves
