Who won Minnesota Timberwolves vs Portland Trail Blazers?

Minnesota Timberwolves beat Portland Trail Blazers 118-114 at Moda Center on October 22, 2025.

In a tightly contested game at the Moda Center, the Minnesota Timberwolves narrowly defeated the Portland Trail Blazers with a final score of 118-114. This matchup marked the first home game of the season for the Trail Blazers, who were looking to bounce back after losing their season opener. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, entered the game with a victory under their belt, having won their opener against the Memphis Grizzlies.

The Timberwolves extended their lead in the series against the Trail Blazers, now leading 2-0 in the current season, following their earlier victory on February 9, 2025, where they won 114-98. The Timberwolves have shown strong form recently, boasting a record of 8-2 in their last ten games, with an average of 118.6 points scored and 110.1 points allowed. Their current winning streak stands at three games, demonstrating their offensive prowess and defensive capabilities.

In contrast, the Trail Blazers have struggled, with a record of 4-6 in their last ten games and an average of 110.4 points scored against 112.0 points allowed. They are currently on a one-game winning streak, having won their last match against the Los Angeles Lakers 109-81. However, their overall performance has been inconsistent, particularly at home, where they hold a record of 2-2.

The injury report played a significant role in the matchup, as the Trail Blazers were missing key player Shaedon Sharpe due to a knee injury. Additionally, both Damian Lillard and Ja Morant were listed as day-to-day, dealing with Achilles and elbow injuries, respectively. For the Timberwolves, Donte DiVincenzo was also out with an Achilles injury. The absence of these players could have impacted the strategies employed by both teams.

Jaden McDaniels hit a crucial three-pointer to give the Timberwolves a 111-110 lead, followed by Toumani Camara making two free throws to put the Blazers ahead at 112-111. However, Anthony Edwards responded with a step-back jumper, regaining the lead for Minnesota at 114-112.
