• Martell Webster notched his first career double-double with a season-high 21 points and a career-high 13 rebounds … His four 3-pointers, all in the second half, mark a season high … Webster had 19 points and nine rebounds in the second half alone.

• The Trail Blazers extended their winning streak to 11 straight games against the Timberwolves, their longest current streak against any team … Portland’s nine-game home winning streak vs. Minnesota is also its best among all NBA opponents … Portland has now won 27 straight games against teams from the NBA’s four cities that begin with the letter “M” (Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minnesota).  

• Minnesota’s 78 points are tied for the fewest in a game against the Trail Blazers in season history, and the 28-point margin of victory is just two shy of Portland’s largest win in series history.

• Portland has defeated Minnesota by at least 23 points in all three meetings this season … The wins account for Portland’s largest three victories this season … The last time the Trail Blazers defeated any team by 23-plus points on three occasions in the same season was vs. Golden State in 2000 (it marks the fifth time this has been accomplished in franchise history).

• Minnesota’s 15 points in the fourth quarter are the fewest by either team in the final period of a Trail Blazers game this season.

• Counting tonight’s games, Portland has played more games than any other team in the NBA (15) … Indiana has played the fewest games in the league (10).
