After Action Report
The Timberwolves survived the Mavericks 118-114 in overtime. Timberwolves' scorers couldn't be contained. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
