After Action Report
The Mavericks squeaked past the Timberwolves 100-95. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Mavericks. Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Mavericks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Mavericks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
