After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Timberwolves 118-116. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
