After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves held off the Mavericks 95-89. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Timberwolves answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Timberwolves' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
