After Action Report
The Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Mavericks 112-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
