After Action Report
The Timberwolves outlasted the Mavericks 98-89. Ugly basketball, but the Timberwolves did just enough. The Mavericks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Timberwolves locker room is humming, and it showed. The Timberwolves rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
