After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Timberwolves 86-82. The Mavericks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; Mavericks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
