After Action Report
The Timberwolves pulled away from the Mavericks 100-82. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
