  • Mavericks · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Timberwolves · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Timberwolves · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
