After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Timberwolves 98-88. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Mavericks; the Timberwolves are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
