The Timberwolves rolled past the Mavericks 127-102. The Timberwolves got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Timberwolves steamroller is in full effect right now; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
