Depleted Timberwolves get exploited by rejuvenated Mavericks

DALLAS – You could see the buzzsaw rolling down the plains of Texas like a tornado.

The league’s most efficient in Dallas had all of its horses present Monday while the rebuilding Wolves brought in the fourth-worst defense since remaking their roster at the trade deadline.

With Luka Doncic present after missing a game Saturday and Kristaps Porzingis also back in the lineup, the Mavericks chopped up the Wolves’ defense in an 139-123 Wolves loss at American Airlines Center.

Doncic filled up the stat sheet as you might expect for the ascending star, as he finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in just 25 minutes.
