After Action Report
In Dallas, the Timberwolves took care of the Mavericks 116-102. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.

- Timberwolves · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Timberwolves · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
