After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Mavericks 104-101. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves; Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
