As the Dallas Mavericks prepare to face off against the Minnesota Timberwolves at the Target Center, fans are eager to see if their team can continue its recent trend of high-scoring performances.

In their last game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, despite a narrow loss with a final score of 110-113, Dallas demonstrated strong offensive capabilities. They led for over 42 minutes and had an impressive fast break percentage of 92 percent, converting 11 out of 12 opportunities. Their two-point field goal percentage stood at a solid 57 percent with points in paint contributing significantly to their total score.


The previous game saw them triumph over Phoenix Suns with an even more convincing display of offense. Scoring 128 points and leading for over 40 minutes of playtime, they boasted a remarkable two-point field goal percentage of 72 percent and an effective field goal percentage that hit the mark at 63 percent.


However, it was their explosive encounter with San Antonio Spurs that truly showcased what this team is capable of when firing on all cylinders. The Mavericks dominated with a staggering scoreline of 144-119. Their three-point shooting was exceptional; hitting more than half their attempts resulted in an effective field goal percentage reaching up into the realms of brilliance at around 64 percent.


While these games highlight Dallas's offensive prowess, they also reveal areas needing attention – turnovers and defensive consistency could be improved upon as they prepare for Minnesota's challenge.


The upcoming match is scheduled for December 29th at Minneapolis' Target Center – home ground advantage for the Timberwolves but no less daunting for our determined Mavericks. Fans can catch all action live on BSSW network channel number:676 as both teams battle it out starting from midnight Central Time Zone (CT).
