After Action Report

The Mavericks squeaked past the Timberwolves 111-110. The better team simply showed up tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
