After Action Report
The Timberwolves snuck past the Mavericks 89-84. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves came in with something to prove after a loss; Timberwolves' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Timberwolves · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
