The Dallas Mavericks (0-1) will look to bounce back in a major way Saturday night, as they host the Minnesota Timberwolves (1-1) — it is the Mavs’ regular season home opener. The Timberwolves are on the second night of a back to back, having played the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday night.
The Mavericks were embarrassed in their first game of the season when they lost to the Phoenix Suns on the road 121-100 Wednesday night. Going through bouts of poor shooting, and showing no ability to defend the three-point line, there’s plenty to shore up from game one.
