After Action Report
The Mavericks buried the Timberwolves 126-102. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
