After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Mavericks 118-115. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
