After Action Report

The Mavericks survived the Timberwolves 124-120 in overtime. The breakneck pace played right into Mavericks' hands. Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Timberwolves pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
