The Mavericks outlasted the Timberwolves 97-85. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Timberwolves couldn't shake the cold spell. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
