After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Mavericks held off the Timberwolves 101-92. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · 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.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
