After Action Report

In Dallas, the Timberwolves ran roughshod over the Mavericks 103-79. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Timberwolves; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
