After Action Report
The Mavericks outlasted the Timberwolves 117-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Timberwolves. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
