After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks held off the Timberwolves 122-116. Mavericks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Mavericks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Mavericks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Timberwolves · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
