After Action Report
The Timberwolves buried the Mavericks 121-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Timberwolves stayed locked in; Timberwolves' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
