After Action Report
In Dallas, the Timberwolves demolished the Mavericks 116-78. Timberwolves' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
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.
