The Dallas Mavericks were without their three biggest stars, and they fell just short to the Timberwolves.

On a night the Dallas Mavericks honored their first president and general manager, Norm Sonju, they were overpowered by a pack of Wolves. Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle scored

Norm Sonju co-founded the Mavericks and was their president and general manager for 16 seasons, so when he came to American Airlines Center to be honored Wednesday night, his many well-wishers spanned the spectrum of the 1980s and ‘90s Mavericks.

The Mavericks were without rookie No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg, who sat for left ankle injury management on the first night of a back-to-back.

A few nights after the Timberwolves snapped a five-game losing streak against a short-handed Warriors team, they faced the Mavericks, who also had a lengthy “out” list on the injury report. The Wolves did as they should in coming home with a 118-105 victory over Dallas at American Airlines Center with Oklahoma City up next on Thursday,

The Mavericks have been looking for a point guard to stabilize the position, and Coby White could be their guy on the trade market.

The Dallas Mavericks had an unplanned three-day break after their game against the Milwaukee Bucks, originally planned for Sunday evening, was postponed due to weather in the Dallas area. They weren't able to fly out in time for the game, so it's been delayed to an unknown date (likely February 19th, the first game after the All-Star Break).

The Minnesota Timberwolves and Dallas Mavericks meet Wednesday in Dallas, Texas, with tip-off set for 8:30 p.m. ET.
