After Action Report
In Minnesota, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Mavericks 135-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Timberwolves cashed in. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Timberwolves' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
