After Action Report

In Minnesota, the Timberwolves blew the doors off the Mavericks 115-90. Every possession went the Timberwolves way. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Timberwolves; Timberwolves' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Timberwolves · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Timberwolves · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
