After a slightly more difficult period, the Wolves have moved forward and climb to eighth place in the West. This success against the Mavericks, who are thus doubled by Minnesota in the standings, is the fourth in a row.
Another Texan team beaten on Sunday night: the Spurs. San Antonio dropped in the last quarter against Sacramento.
Chicago – LA Lakers Detroit – Miami Memphis – Portland Phoenix – Charlotte
Sacramento – San Antonio: 121-114
After their big win in Utah, the Spurs suffered against the Kings. They were unable to contain Tyrese Haliburton in the first half, gave up too many points in the second chance and then gave in to Buddy Hield in the second.
The rear scored 18 points in the last quarter, including four award-winning baskets in the last five minutes of the meeting. It’s too much for San Antonio, who does not follow.

Minnesota – Dallas : 111-105
There were notable absentees from both sides (Luka Doncic, Anthony Edwards…) and the Mavericks added one during the game. Touched on the foot in the third quarter, Kristaps Porzingis thus left his teammates.
Despite that, Dallas had managed to come back after a rather poor start. An 18-7 to finish the third quarter had even placed the players of Jason Kidd in front. Except that the Wolves accelerate in the last act, with a 13-5 and a good Jaylen Nowell, and therefore end up winning.
