After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Timberwolves 93-88. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
