After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Mavericks 102-98. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Timberwolves ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Timberwolves bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
