The Wolves dropped one on the road to the Dallas Mavericks in a high-octane showdown on Saturday night. With a final score of 140-136, there were no shortage of highlights for either team. Unfortunately, there was a shortage of defense, and great nights from Derrick Rose and Karl-Anthony Towns were not enough to overcome the Mavs’ inside-out duo of Luka Doncic and DeAndre Jordan.
The first half of this one was absolutely wild, with both teams putting on a show on offense. The score was tied at 69 at the break. In the first quarter along the two teams combined for 83 points with the Wolves up 46-37.
