After a tough homestand where the Dallas Mavericks went 1-2 with a victory over the Washington Wizards and two losses to Atlanta and Phoenix, the Mavs went on the road for a few games. The first of those road contests came tonight as Dallas traveled to Minnesota to face the Timberwolves.
To make this game a little more interesting, the Mavericks and the T-Wolves came into the matchup tied for the last spot in the Western conference at 11-26. The loser would take over the last place in the West and 4th to last in the entire league.
