DALLAS-On almost any other night, the Minnesota Timberwolves might have lost shooting 48 percent. Thanks to a historic night of futility by the Dallas Mavericks, their ordinary night turned into a blowout.

Minnesota dispatched the Mavericks easily in an 80-55 thrashing as Dallas shot just 27 percent (24-of-86) in the game, the second lowest mark in NBA playoff history. The Golden State Warriors hold the record for the lowest shooting mark in playoff history, set after the team shot 23 percent in a game during the 1973 NBA playoffs.

The Mavericks scored just 55 points in the game, the second fewest in playoff history. The Utah Jazz hold the record, set after they scored 54 points in Game 3 of the 1998 NBA Finals against the Chicago Bulls.

The 20 points Dallas scored in the second half broke Utah's record for fewest points scored in the second half. The Jazz had 23 in their historic loss to the Bulls.

Brandon Roy led the Timberwolves with 15 points. Kevin Love finished with a double-double, tallying 14 points and 11 rebounds.

O.J. Mayo was the only Mavericks player in double figures, finishing the game with a double-double: 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Mayo shot just 8-of-25 from the field in the game; Mayo's eight field goals were only three fewer than the other four starters�Darren Collison, Vince Carter, Shawn Marion, and Dirk Nowitzki�on the team combined. Those four shot just 11-of-43, brought down particularly by Darren Collison's spectacularly bad 16 percent (3-of-18) shooting night.

Thanks to their poor shooting totals, Dallas collected an impressive 16 offensive rebounds in the game. Seven of those were tallied by Marion, who finished with four points and 11 rebounds.
