The good news is that the Mavericks get another shot at the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday at American Airlines Center. And they’ll have at least one extra player when they do.
The bad news? The Wolves figure to be every bit as hot as they were in Minnesota on Sunday when they took care of the Mavericks in the fourth quarter and scored a 111-105 victory, their fourth in a row as they continue to climb in the Western Conference.
The Mavericks were shorthanded, of course. And they likely will be again, although they added Theo Pinson from the G-League on Monday (see below).
