After Action Report

The Mavericks upended the Timberwolves 113-112. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
