After Action Report

In Dallas, the Mavericks downed the Timberwolves 135-117. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Mavericks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
