After Action Report

The Timberwolves handled the Mavericks 115-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Timberwolves lately; Timberwolves' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Timberwolves per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Mavericks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
