After Action Report
The Mavericks survived the Timberwolves 103-99. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Mavericks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Mavericks bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
