After Action Report

The Mavericks snuck past the Timberwolves 100-98. Mavericks' offense had its way with the Timberwolves. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Mavericks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
