After Action Report
The Mavericks ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 129-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Mavericks cashed in. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
