The Dallas Mavericks were in a difficult spot on Wednesday evening. They were fresh off a victory over the Pelicans in New Orleans but had to travel home to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on the second of a back-to-back. The Wolves were off on Monday and Tuesday. Dallas was at a massive disadvantage.
The Mavs did not let that stop them on Dec. 4. They got out to a strong start and ultimately pulled away with a 41-point fourth quarter to secure the 121-114 victory in front of their home crowd.
Dwight Powell had his best game of the season.
