The Minnesota Timberwolves won most of the box score against the Dallas Mavericks, but 20 turnovers and lackadaisical transition defense was enough to lose the game. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the defensive woes in the open floor and on the secondary break, as well as the overall lapses on the perimeter. Offensively, the Wolves shot the ball well -- but the turnovers mounted far too quickly. Also: Anthony Edwards's 24-point first quarter was wasted in the loss.
