After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Timberwolves 100-97. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
