After Action Report
The Mavericks edged the Timberwolves 116-108. Mavericks' scorers couldn't be contained. Mavericks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Timberwolves locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
