After Action Report
The Mavericks blew the doors off the Timberwolves 140-102. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Mavericks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
