After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Timberwolves 98-97. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
