After Action Report
The Timberwolves squeaked past the Mavericks 97-96. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
